The COVID-19 Pandemic is a clear example of how science and society are connected. This unit explores how different communities are differentially impacted by the virus through the lens of historical inequities in society. In the context of decisions their families make, students explore the basics of how the virus affects people, and design investigations to explore how it spreads from person to person, and what we can do to prevent that spread.

Ripped from the only family he did remember at the age of four, Isker found himself in the violence-prone dormitories of the Labor Ministry, in preparation for a life of servitude - to the Harapis, or the Sarakans, or perhaps even the Zenhai. Ten years he endured the horrors of the only place he knew. In 2201 of the Fifth Long Age, t

In this unit, students are introduced to ratios, rates, proportional reasoning, similarity and congruence. Students explore ratio as a comparison of two quantities. They discover that if the ratio between the corresponding side lengths and angle measures of two figures is 1:1 (i.e., the measures are identical), then the geometric figures are congruent. They learn that for two figures to be similar, their corresponding side lengths must be in proportion and their corresponding angles must be congruent. Students also explore the relationship between congruence and similarity, learning that al
