I love them, they are providing enough resources for all kids to use. The equipment is often well beyond our budget can afford and the students are engaged while working on an activity. There are some activities that our babies can do and then some which challenge the minds off ur bigger students. Thank you House of Science for providing the opportunities for our students to learn about science and for ensuring all resources are available to us as well. NGA MIHI NUI

This kit was amazing. The tamariki loved using the activities and were very engaged. The activities were at a good level and the learning outcomes were perfect for our unit we are doing. Everything was ready to go, so it saved so much time and made science accessible for me as a teacher to present to the class. Without this kit our space activities would have been very boring. Thank you very much!

Thank you, the students really enjoyed these activities. The Making Sherbet one was good for recalling their prior knowledge of acids etc. The kit was clean and prepared for ease of use. Throughout these activities the students asked some great questions and made some good comparisons. This learning was in the midst of working through their Science Fair projects and it has given students some good ideas for next year. Thank you again. Ngā mihi.

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.

This is the great thing about this resource is that teachers are free to adapt everything to their own class. Collaborative Learning of the measuring tools. The concepts in the box on the whole was too hard. My kids don’t even know what a stop watch, timer tape measure is let alone the harder concept tools. I pushed the desks to the side got the kits out took the tools out of the boxes and let the kids explore.
