My Pals are Here! Science More Notes Teacher's Handbook Primary 3&4 is written for teachers using the My Pals are Here! Science curriculum. It is designed as a resource handbook for teachers who want more substantial information and further resources to enrich lessons.

The book follows the same sequence as the My Pals are Here! Textbook, but the chapters do not correspond one-to-one to the chapters in the textbook. Each chapter in More Notes includes extensive background information for the teacher, followed by a teaching tip highlighting a common misconception, internet resources, and an experiment.
