I would also like to thank the primary teachers who offered valuable feedback to the writers as they were preparing the units and to Gail Mehr for the word processing and graphics.

Thank you also to the Coordinators and Consultants who facilitated the process.

These units offer exciting, activity-based science lessons to assist primary teachers in engaging students in the wonder of science. They should become valuable resources for classroom science programs.
