SELECTIVE UNIT 2 (S02)
(The Atomic Nature of Matter, Temperature, Heat and Expansion)
(June 2011)
Unit Statement: In selective unit two, the student will learn about the atomic nature of matter that motion through space is related to motion in time and that gravity causes space to become curved and time changes.
