Dear Educators,

Thank you for your continued interest in EHP Student Edition. In the past 2.5 years we have produced more than 90 high-quality lessons that help students develop critical thinking and other other important skills while learning about interesting and relevant environmental health topics.

Next month, June 2007, will mark the final issue of EHP Student Edition and accompanying new lessons. Although we will not be producing any further new lessons, the EHP Science Education website will continue to offer free access to all the student content published to date, both articles and lessons. The newly designed site will have a user-friendly interface that allows you to find EHP Student Edition lessons that meet your instructional needs. You will be able to search for lessons by academic subject, topic, skill, implementation length, lesson type, and grade level.

We hope you will continue to use and enjoy this valuable resource. Thank you for your hard work as educators in helping to develop our future researchers!

Sincerely,

The EHP Science Education Team
