Uniting the Unit

Look over the lessons in Chapter 7 (not including 7-8 Work Problems). Why do you think the editors of this textbook put all of this material together in one chapter? What connects all of the lessons (be specific)? Are there any lessons in Chapter 7 that do not fit in the chapter? With what units should they be inserted into? Also, do you think other lessons could be added to this chapter? If so, which ones, and why? If not, why not?

(Yes, there are many questions to answer here. You will be graded on your ability to produce well-reasoned answers.)
