We continued with the year 1 and 4 with a yogurt maker and ice cream maker to understand how we heated things up and cooled them down (insulation) and experimented with a yogurt maker then into an ice cream maker. This allowed them to use some of the language but in a different context. We also used it to ground their knowledge in non-fiction informational writing. Diagrams, labeling etc so not exact but a great as well. The kids would get so excited about the lessons. When I as the principal came into see what was happening the students were so excited to share their experiences and their writing on the days.

It was fantastic. We had a blast. We found lots of other experiments etc that we could do with or about water online. The children were really enthusiastic and interested in what was happening. There was a lot of science and questionning that took place in our classroom. We are very lucky to have been able to use it.

The children absolutely loved this kit. The whole class was engaged and excited the whole time. It was my favourite science kit so far and the children said the same. The range of materials was very interesting for the children and they loved exploring the concepts of floating and sinking. The ‘flinking’ activity was their favourite. Great fun, great learning! Thanks so much. I have told all my colleagues that I highly recommend this kit – particularly for younger learners.

Brilliant resource! Takes all the stress out of tracking down resources, which we just don’t have the time or budget for. Kids are engaged and exploring theories and discovering so much more. THANK YOU.

Whether the activities are hard or easy our tamariki can access them at the level they are learning at and get interest and enjoyment from them. They always help us ask and answer questions and expand our thinking and they are hands-on and well-organised and appealing.
