As this was a new curriculum for us at Tarawera High School we were learning together (students and teacher) about the science kits, vocabulary for science as well as experiments. Great hands on resources for students to do investigations with as well as inquiry learning

The kits are an excellent science resource, and has definitely made it easier to teach science in our primary school. They give a starting point from where teachers can go in lots of directions. We couldn’t afford to buy all the equipment provided in the kits so they are an excellent resource.

Conversations just went all over the show. It was great to relate what we know in our own lives and how it relates to this kit.

Dalefield School

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!

They are fabulous. Having all of the resources at hand is so helpful. I can usually adapt the activities to suit the year 1’s. I really appreciate the Science Capabilities as the key focus so that even if a concept is too complex at certain levels for the year 1’s we still know that the capabilities are being well consolidated.
