Each module is meant to stand entirely on its own, so that each can be taught in any order. This enables new cadets coming into the program to study the same module, at the same time, with the other cadets. This builds a cohesiveness and cooperation among the cadets and encourages active group participation. This module is also appropriate for middle school students and can be used by teachers to supplement STEM-related subjects.  \nInquiry-based activities were included to enhance the text and provide concept applicability. The activities were designed as group activities, but can be done individually, if desired. The activities for this module are located at the end of each chapter.  \nCONTENTS  \nIntroduction .............................................................................................ii  \nContents ...................................................................................................iii  \nNational Academic Standard Alignment ..............................................iv  \nChapter 1.
