Physics

The timeline of each subject is correlated with the BC Standards. However, homeschooling is flexible so feel free to use each unit as you see fit. Just know that (for example) the Matter All Around Us unit aligned for kindergarten won't be challenging enough for a grade 5 student; and the Mixtures unit will be far too in depth for a grade 1 student. I would say each unit likely has a +/- of 1-2 grades depending on your child.
