All matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms; the study of the properties of these atoms and how they interact is known as chemistry. In this unit, students will gain an understanding of the basic principles of chemistry, including the safe handling, storage, and disposal of household chemicals, properties and classification of matter, and the periodic table,
Unit B: Environmental Sciences
In our second unit of study, students will learn about the cycling of matter in the biosphere, and investigate ways in which ecosystem balance can be disrupted. In particular, students will look at the relationship between humans and their environment.
