Throughout 3rd quarter, all inquiry objectives should be reinforced. It is expected that the listed historical and personal/social perspective objectives will also be integrated within units.

Page(s)

1. PROPERTIES OF MATTER 17-24

d. Inquiry: reinforce entire process; safety reinforced 18-22

e. Historical: Dmitri Mendeleev 23

a. Personal /Social Perspectives: chemical waste disposal; greenhouse gases 24

Italics = a performance objective introduced at an earlier grade level

Bolded = knowledge or skill connected to a major concept
