Corrections

• Intro - The DK Encyclopedia of Science edition should be 2006, not 2016.
• Unit 3 Test Answers - Vocabulary Matching #9 should be "F" and #10 should be "L".
• Unit 5 (& the Student Guide Memory Work List) - In the elements to be memorized number 85 should read "85-At-Astatine."
• Unit 5, Week 2 - Directions for making the cabbage juice indicator should include "cover the cabbage with water before putting the pot on the stove." See full directions here.
