**Unit 1 Learning Goals** //__Students will be able to:__// - To measure mass, length, and volume using the appropriate number of significant figures. - To convert between units within the metric system.
 * Chemistry**
 * 1.** Use the metric system
 * 2.** Distinguish between chemical and physical properties.
 * 3.** Describe the physical property of density and calculate it using mass and volume of an object.
 * 4.** Distinguish between chemical and physical changes.
 * 5.** List the four indicators of a chemical change and apply these to common examples.
 * 6.** Use Sig Fig rules in all calculations.
 * 7.** Use unit analysis (Factor Label, Fence Posting) to solve problems.
 * 8.** Construct a graph from data and use it to find and state regularity.
 * 9.** Assess the accuracy (using % error) and precision (using average deviation) of an experiment and describe what each term means.
 * 10.** Define science and the steps in the scientific method.
 * 11.** Distinguish between pure substances (elements/compounds) and mixtures (homogeneous and heterogeneous).
 * 12.** Reading and using lab equipment.
 * 13.** Counting atoms in structures.
