The development of Primary Connections is being continually informed by research and evaluation.

• In 2005 a survey was conducted to asses the impact of Primary Connections in trial schools. The results showed that Primary Connections has a strong, positive impact on students, teachers, and schools.

• Ongoing evaluations are used to inform the development of Primary Connections. The reports evaluate the impact of the program on teachers, Professional Learning Facilitators, university science educators, and principals.

• In 2007 the impact of Primary Connections on students' scientific literacy, attitudes and achievement will be evaluated. The report will be available in 2008.
