Abstract

This unit is on the cycles in matter. It will provide insight into how Indigenous science is naturally embedded in cycles of elements on earth and the universe. Understanding the basic elements of life and how they move in cycles can help better understand the ecosystem. The Navajo Nation resides in the four-corner region in the great southwest, this means that we experience the four seasons spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
