Unit 1: Properties
This unit presents hands-on activities that use metric tools to measure objects and substances. The organization of the periodic table by atomic number (number of protons), the structure of the atom, and the electrical charge of protons, neutrons, and electrons are emphasized. The characteristics of selected elements and their physical and chemical properties are investigated.

Unit 4: Cells to Living Organisms
This unit is designed to develop a deeper understanding of cells as the basic unit of living things, the basic components of cells and their functions, and the likenesses and differences of plant and animal cells. Beginning with cells, the levels of structural organization in living things will be emphasized. The processes of photosynthesis and respiration in green plants, the development and use of dichotomous keys to classify plants and animals, plus identification and transmission of diseases caused by germs are other topics addressed within the unit.
