The Electricity & Magnetism curriculum is in the same new format as the Mechanics one. There are the same four Big Ideas that are across all the units:
|
Unit 1:Electrostatics
|
Unit 2: Conductors, Capacitors, Dielectrics
|
Unit 3: Electric Circuits
|
Unit 4: Magnetic Fields
|
Unit 5: Electromagnetism
|
Big Idea 1: Change (CHA)
Interactions produce changes in
motion.

Big Idea 1: Force Interactions (INT) Forces characterize
interactions between objects or systems.

Big Idea 3: Fields (FLD) Fields predict and describe interactions.

With only five units instead of the seven in Mechanics each unit contains more Leaving Objectives but I found the Essential Knowledge section a bit more sparse. There seemed to be more times that the equation was thrown down and then "using calculus" was meant to explain more of the content. I mean, it does, but I think the content needed under Essential Knowledge is more apparent in Mechanics than in E&M. Unlike in Mechanics I don't recall seeing any additional equations not on the supplied equation sheet either.
