Analysis

A 2006-curriculum physics of eight units that folds elasticity into properties of matter and, unlike Punjab, carries no magnetism at grade nine. Its distinctive feature is unmistakable: chapter one carries a heading pairing the Quran and physics and a full page of Quranic verses before any physics content appears, followed immediately by a boxed section on the Islamic world's contribution to physics profiling Yaqub Kindi and Al-Beruni, and then famous Pakistani physicists. Neither Punjab nor Sindh's class-9 physics has any equivalent opening, and this is the only physics book in the corpus containing Quranic verses, which is what drives A1 to 3. The counterweight is real and unusual: this is the most gender-balanced science book in the corpus, because its worked problems routinely use female actors, a driver who brakes, a girl whose mass is given, a woman applying force. That is an authoring habit no other board shows, and it is why A7 is 4 rather than 5. Note that OCR of the verse page is poor and the surah references are not legible.

Axes not listed were not scored for this book — coverage is uneven by design. All axes run 1–5, where 1 is the secular/pluralist/open pole. See the method.

Evidence recorded 2

Three kinds, deliberately styled apart. A quotation is verbatim wording and is only ever taken from English-medium text. An observation describes structure or theme — the only kind permitted for Urdu and Sindhi material, which this project never quotes. An absence is a negative result: a probe was run and returned nothing, which is the weakest claim made anywhere on this site.

Chapter 1 carries a "QURAAN AND PHYSICS" heading · PAGE 4 and a full page of Quranic verses · PAGE 5 — "He who created seven heaven[s] in layers… Do they not think? Do they not contemplate?" — before any physics content, followed immediately by "ISLAMIC WORLD CONTRIBUTION TO PHYSICS" (Yaqub Kindi, Al-Beruni) and "FAMOUS PAKISTANI PHYSICISTS" · PAGE 5–6. Neither Punjab nor Sindh Physics 9 has any equivalent.

Highest science ratio in the corpus and, unusually, real: worked problems use female actors ("A driver is traveling at 18 m/s when she sees a red light", "The mass of a girl is 60 kg")

Every passage recorded for this book is shown above — nothing is withheld or truncated. Each item has a permanent anchor, so a single piece of evidence can be linked and disputed on its own.

Findings that cite this book 1

Religionhigh confidence

Every Biology 9 book in the study opens with a Quranic section quoting the same two verses. It is curriculum-mandated, all boards comply, and it survived Punjab's complete rewrite. Only KP extends scripture into physics.

A finding states and cites; it does not argue. The argument is in the studies. Where a finding has counter-evidence it is printed above, in the same block, because a finding that hides its counter-evidence is a worse finding rather than a stronger one.

The checksum is of the exact file these findings were computed from, so anyone can prove they hold the same bytes. The retrieval date is when this copy was fetched to the project's own disk, not a formal web-archive capture. Boards and mirrors reprint and reorganise continuously, so a source link may not resolve, and may not serve the same edition if it does. The bibliographic record above — board, class, subject, medium, curriculum, edition, approval reference and page count — is what identifies the book; the link is a convenience. This project does not republish the PDF itself, for the copyright reasons set out in about.

Identifiers and permanent link

Record IDkptbb-physics-9-en
Permanent link/books/kptbb-physics-9-en/
This record as data/books/kptbb-physics-9-en.json · whole dataset

The record ID is an accession number that happens to be readable. It never changes, even if the metadata encoded in it turns out to be wrong — if this book's board, class, subject or medium is corrected, the correction appears in the fields above and the ID stays as it is. That is the only way a link made today still resolves in ten years. The full rule is in the standards.

If you are quoting a passage from the book rather than citing this record, cite the book — the bibliographic details above are what identifies it — and say that you found it here. Two citations, not one.

Challenge this record

If the edition is misidentified, a score does not survive its evidence, the source link is wrong, or a passage is unfairly characterised, that is worth reporting and will be acted on whether or not the correction suits the argument. Corrections are published in the corrections log, never quietly patched. This applies fully to the board that publishes this book: any reply will appear beside the finding it concerns, under the right of reply.
