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.
Pre-Calculus 12 centers around the big ideas of inverses, functions, and transformations.
The course instruction is offered through StudyForge lesson videos, note packages, and practice questions.
The topics include trigonometry, rational and exponential functions, logarithms, polynomials, transformations, and geometric sequences and series.
This course is suited for students looking for post-secondary studies in math, science, and engineering.
This course cannot be used toward Adult Graduation Credits
Have you ever wondered…..why people have different personalities; what intelligence is and how it’s measured; why one person is attracted to another; and why people dream and what dreams mean?
Psychology 11 is an introductory course that will address some of the above questions and more. This course will introduce some history of psychological thought, theories of motivation, emotion and personality as well as human development, learning theory, and social psychology. It will allow students to explore some of these topics from from a Western World’s point of view to various cultures, including an Aboriginal’s view. This course works best for students who have an interest in learning about themselves, who have good writing skills, and who have the motivation and self- discipline to work independently. You will be working on self-reflection write-ups for each of the five units in this course.

Psychology 12 can be taken on its own or as a continuation of Psychology 11. It surveys the topics on history of psychological thought, research in psychology, developmental psychology, psychological disorders, methods of therapy, and neuroscience and biological foundations from a Western World’s point of view to various cultures, including an Aboriginal’s view. This course is best suited for students with strong writing skills and the self-motivation necessary to work well independently.
Science 10 introduces main topics from Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Earth Science. This will form the basis for further studies in future grades and provide students with knowledge to find areas of interest. This course has four main units of study: DNA, Genetics and Natural Selection; Chemical Reactions and Radioactivity; Law of Conservation of Energy; The Universe.
Social Justice 12 is a current events course.
While we use historical contexts to teach concepts, and show social changes over time, learners will focus on current events in projects and in a learning community on-line.
The issues we explore are political as that is where policy happens; policy is what creates day-to-day systemic issues that are ever present and in the news. This course is about the community you live in now, and the one you can change with activism and your vote.
