As a teacher I have found the Science kits great for exposing my students to science ideas they might not normally look at as part of our science teaching. Thank you for all your organisation resourcing and putting the kits together.

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.

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.

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.

This is one of the best science kits enjoyed by myself and the students, especially my year 7/8. The experiments expressed the wow! factor, they also showed high interest in the nano chem relationship to their environment. Their minds were challenged to comprehend the concept of nano technology. The akonga were highly motivated and looked forward to each lesson. I used the kit every day for the two weeks. I especially enjoyed Te Reo kupu, these kupu were instilled in the akonga learning. Looking forward to the next kit. Physics is a must for akonga in this area.
