CBSE Subjects for Class 11 Science

CBSE or the Central Board of Secondary Education is one of India’s most prestigious boards of education. The syllabus and textbooks of the CBSE board are as per the guidelines of the NCERT or the National Council of Educational Research and Training.

Science education under CBSE ensures that students develop good scientific aptitude.  Students develop good research and analytical skills.  Until class 10, students study science as a single subject.  Physics, chemistry and biology topics are addressed under the subject Science.  This ensures that students develop a good integrated understanding of the subject before they begin to learn about specialized areas of science.  At the class 11 level, students can enter the science stream.  In the science stream, they begin to learn physics, chemistry and biology topics under separate subjects.  Let us go through a short overview of CBSE subjects for class 11 science.


In class 11, students begin to learn science at a deeper level and also become more familiar with higher-order thinking skills.  Students taking up the science stream begin to learn science through three core science subjects, namely, physics, chemistry and biology.  

Under physics for class 11 science students, introduction to physics as a subject is addressed through topics like “What is Physics?”  The topics that are studied include Units of Measurement, Motion in a Straight Line, Motion in a Plane, Laws of Motion, Work, Energy and Power, System of Particles and Rotational Motion and Gravitation in Part 1.  In Part 2, students continue to study physics as a specialized science subject with topics such as Waves and Kinetic Theory.

Under chemistry for class 11 science students, introduction to chemistry as a subject is addressed under the Unit “Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry.” Structure of Atom, Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties, Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure, States of Matter, Thermodynamics and Equilibrium are studied in Part 1.  In Part II, Redox Reactions, Hydrogen, the s-block elements, the p-block elements, Organic Chemistry, Hydrocarbons and Environmental Chemistry is studied.

Under biology for class 11 science students, introduction to biology as a subject is addressed under the Unit “Diversity in the Living World.” The other units under Cbse Class 11 Biology are Structural Organization in Plants and Animals, Cell: Structure and Functions, Plant Physiology and Human Physiology.
