This kit was amazing! The students particularly loved the activity of investigating the white powder – it was the most engaging activity. All the students enjoyed it and it made them feel like forensic scientists. The teacher manual was also super helpful. I liked that there were many student packs available as well as the binded booklets (I gave out one per group).

Kit overall was fantastic, and the students loved working out all of the components! Ph scale was great – could have spent on whole lesson on this alone!

An amazing resource that we feel very lucky to be able to access. Our whole school of 170 students uses each kit when booked.
