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.

Learnt a lot myself as electricity is not a strong point for me. Love the background notes and lesson plans in the manual … gives you confidence to teach the unit better . Everything you need in one place. Kits are so well organised and presented. A good balance of discovering and exploring. My children love the kits and always look forward to the next lesson. Totally engaged. I am so excited to have discovered House Of Science kits. Thank you so much for this resource and great service. It has revitalised my teaching programme

Great resource, but due to time restraints we did not get time to complete all the activities. I thoroughly enjoy using Te Reo intergrated with my students. The kupu Putaiao are brilliant, some are new to me, even though I am fluent, some of the new scientific words are unknown. Well done congratulations to the Reo interpreters

Kit overall was fantastic, and the students loved working out all of the components! Ph scale was great – could have spent on whole lesson on this alone!

Such an awesome kit!!!!!!! I’m not too great at science, as I don’t know how to teach or where to start, but these kits… I loved it! Already booked another three, and can’t wait to get into them with my students. A mātou mihi nui!!!!!!
