Ukraine 9th Grade Physics Curriculum

The 9th grade in Ukraine represents the final year of base secondary education (grades 5-9) within the overall education system, which is compulsory from age 6 to 15. Physics is one of the core subjects taught alongside Ukrainian language and literature, a foreign language, history, mathematics, biology, chemistry, physical education, music, and art. Students typically study in the same school throughout their primary and secondary education. At the end of 9th grade, students take the DPA exam, which includes Ukrainian language, math, and a school-chosen subject.

While the specific topics covered in 9th-grade physics aren't readily available, the curriculum aligns with the Ministry of Education's guidelines. A model curriculum for grades 7-9 exists, emphasizing physics and astronomy within the natural sciences field. A textbook, "Physics 9," corresponds to the 7-9 grade curriculum and includes laboratory works, questions, and calculation tasks. The "Ukrainian online school" project offers video tutorials, tests, and independent work materials for physics. Additional resources for physics education are available online.
