Great hands on and informative activities that covered many science concepts. Helpful teachers manual. The students thoroughly enjoyed it and it was suitable for diversity in learning abilities.

Opawa School

We did most of the activities in this kit and the students loved it! The kids loved using the stop watches too. The UV flashlights and discovering more “germs” on our hands was a hit.The sneezing zone experiment soon made us forget and we had loads of fun. Thank you for putting these kits together and making them fun to learn Science concepts. Also thank you for all the clear instructions plus even instructions on how to get everything back into the container! Much appreciated.

We absolutly loved using the Space Out Science Kit. The students really enjoyed the activities and learning opportunities available. As the teacher, I found it easy to follow through the lessons/activities and thought the kit was well resourced and set up – it was simple and fun!
