The territories mostly elect to adopt the curriculum of their most closely related adjacent provinces. This includes adopting the related provinces examination policy. Yukon and the Northwest Territories primarily follows the British Columbia curriculum. [2] [3] Meanwhile, Nunavut primarily follows the Alberta curriculum. [4]
An open textbook is a textbook licensed under an open license, and made available online to be freely used by students, teachers and members of the public.Many open textbooks are distributed in either print, e-book, or audio formats that may be downloaded or purchased at little or no cost.
Meanwhile, AP Physics 2 covered the other content areas. In 2020, the sound, waves, and electricity topics were removed from AP Physics 1 and moved to AP Physics 2. In 2024, the unit covering fluids was moved from AP Physics 2 to AP Physics 1, making space in the AP Physics 2 curriculum for more detail on waves and modern physics. [2] [7]
Each student who attends the full 4-year High-School curriculum will go through 8 semesters with 6 classes a day. Students are required to take 4 years of English and 4 years of Mathematics. Students must also take 3 years of science classes in either Chemistry, Physics, Biology (requisite), Human Anatomy, or Forensic Science.
Before 1973, the topics of AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism were covered in a singular AP Physics C exam, which included mechanics, electricity, magnetism, optics, fluids, and modern physics. In 1973, this exam was discontinued, and two new exams were created, which each covered Newtonian mechanics and electromagnetism.
Advanced Placement (AP) Physics B was a physics course administered by the College Board as part of its Advanced Placement program. It was equivalent to a year-long introductory university course covering Newtonian mechanics , electromagnetism , fluid mechanics , thermal physics , waves , optics , and modern physics .
The public school sector in British Columbia is home to one of the province's most powerful unions, [citation needed] the British Columbia Teacher Federation, which represents over 46,000 public school teachers across British Columbia. [11] The province disburses funds to each public school based on a per student full time equivalent formula.
