	Dear Teachers,&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	The curriculum units here support the entire range of the inquiry process- background information; asking scientific questions and developing defendable claims; sample collection and submission; peer review; data analysis and communicating results. The units follow a logical progression but can be used as you need them in your classroom. For each curriculum unit you will find supporting documents (worksheets, game pieces, poster templates) as well as links to other resources that you will find helpful (for example- the very useful Mercury Connections report from the BioDiversity Research Institute).</p>
<p>
	Please, we continuously refine these units and the supporting materials- if you think the units could be enriched, added to or modified- let us know... put a comment in the comment box below or post to the forum.</p>
