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!

This has been such a motivator in my classroom. It has reignited our spark for learning. We now consider ourselves the Water Cycle experts in our school, as this is what our school wide focus includes for this term

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.

The kit as usual was so well thought out and easy to pick up and use. I love the information it gives to develop my own knowledge as the teacher so I can try and facilitate as meaningful of an experience as possible. All student information is really clear for them to follow, so they all get to have some independence as growing scientists!

Students found the kit engaging and fun, especially the eDNA. The kit is also helpful to teachers who lack the confidence to teach science – it makes it easy for teachers to teach the concepts.
