In closing, I want to thank my wife, Erika, for teaching me how to post materials to the Internet and for her EXTREME patience with my perfectionist self. I sincerely hope that this unit and the Colonization of Mars Unit will assist you in the classroom or within the home school environment. If at anytime you have questions, suggestions, or comments, please do not hesitate to e-mail me. My next Internet project is the publishing of a children's book that I wrote. Check back soon to see if it's up and running.
