The groups are:
- Second ____
NATURE
CHANCE
THOUGHT
PLACE
- Degree scales
MURDER
BURN
ANGLE
EDUCATION
- Meanings of mole
SPY
MAMMAL
MARK
SAUCE
- Append "meter" (barometer, centimeter, pentameter, speedometer) (thanks @PDT)
BAR
CENT
PENT
SPEED
The connection between the four groups is:
SI units (second, degree, mole, meter). The "fundamental" in the title probably refers to them being among the 7 basic SI units, assuming "degree" may be interpreted as "degree Kelvin".

$\begingroup$ @PDT That's got to be it! I'm embarrassed I had tried attaching "meter" but didn't notice anything. $\endgroup$– xnorCommented Mar 27 at 7:16

1$\begingroup$ I saw this and the degree as a group but I didn’t know about what SI units really were so I couldn’t finish the puzzle before I had something else I needed doing. $\endgroup$– PDTCommented Mar 27 at 7:20
