Physical and Health Education 10 is divided into four units:

  • Physical Literacy
  • Healthy Living
  • Social and Community Health
  • Mental Well Being

For each unit, there is also a corresponding 20 hours of activity that needs to be tracked and logged, for a total of 80 hours of physical activity, for the course.

Physical and Health Education 10 is required for graduation.

Physical and Health Education (PHE) is designed to develop educated students who have the knowledge, skills, and understandings to be safe, active, and healthy citizens throughout their lives. The PHE curriculum emerges from two areas of learning, physical education and health education, that are brought together in order to promote and develop all aspects of well-being.

Physical and Health Education (PHE) is designed to develop educated students who have the knowledge, skills, and understandings to be safe, active, and healthy citizens throughout their lives. The PHE curriculum emerges from two areas of learning, physical education and health education, that are brought together in order to promote and develop all aspects of well-being.

The physical education component focuses on the development of physical literacy. The health education component focuses on the development of knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to health literacy in three units: healthy and active living, social and community health, and mental well-being. An underlying principle of the PHE curriculum is that students must be active in creating, assessing, and applying what they learn to their daily lives.

The physical education component of PHE9 focuses on the continued development of physical literacy. The health education component of focuses on the development of knowledge, skills, and attitudes, related to health literacy in three units: healthy and active living, social and community health, and mental well-being.

Physical Geography 12 is a comprehensive course, which examines the world around us from both a regional and global perspective using the five themes of geography, namely location, place, human/environmental interaction, movement and regions. Learners will investigate physical geography topics such as the cause and effects of plate tectonics, gradational processes, weather and climate, biospheres and energy, and then apply this knowledge to understanding some of the many of the problems associated with managing our environment including various types of pollution and their role in global warming and global dimming.

Physics 11 explores the world of motion and energy.  It is designed to build students’ knowledge of core physics concepts.  The course focuses on four big ideas.  An object’s motion can be predicted, analyzed and described.  Forces influence the motion of an object.  Energy is found in different forms, is conserved, and has the ability to do work.  Mechanical waves transfer energy but not matter.

Physics 11 emphasizes real-life applications and helps students connect their learning to the world around them.  Several virtual labs and one hands-on home lab deepen student understanding of content and scaffold important lab writing skills. Physics 11 provides a solid foundation for students carrying on to physics 12.

Students may take this course as part of the EBUS Academy pre-science program. The EBUS pre-science program offers students an opportunity to take online science 11 and 12 courses and access enriched learning opportunities through the University of Northern BC (UNBC).

Physics 12 explores the world of motion and fields. It is designed to build on the knowledge the student gained in physics 11.

The course focuses on four big ideas. Measurements of motion depends on our frame of reference. Forces can cause linear and circular motion. Momentum is conserved within a closed isolated system. Forces and energy interactions occur within fields.

Physics 12 emphasizes real-life applications and helps students connect their learning to the world around them.

Several virtual labs deepen student understanding of content and scaffold important lab writing skills. There is also one final home project that expands on one or more areas from the course. Physics 11 should be taken prior to physics 12 to ensure all necessary skills are developed.

Students will learn and develop mathematical skills that are foundational for use in pre-calculus and calculus thereafter. Pre-Calculus 11 focuses on quadratic relationships, their prevalence around us, and the use of algebra to generalize these relationships through abstract thinking.

Students will explore the meanings of and connections between operations extending to powers, radicals and polynomials. Students will use proportional reasoning to solve indirect measurement trigonometric problems, and work with formulas for financial literacy. These mentioned topics will be studied with use of the Communication, Thinking, and Personal & Social core competencies.
