The Chemical Level of Organization
This pathway provides an in-depth look at elements & atoms: the building blocks of matter, chemical bonds, chemical reactions, inorganic compounds essential to human functioning, and organic compounds essential to human functioning. The pathway also provides vocabulary support for these topics, as well as opportunities for learners to self-assess their understanding by analyzing figures and answering questions.
