Each unit integrates laboratory experiences and field work using the process of inquiry.
NOTE: There are several strategies that are common throughout the units such as the use of a laboratory notebook, written laboratory reports,

and common teaching strategies. Keeping in mind that the standards are recursive in nature, it should be noted that many of the standards are revisited in different units throughout the year.
