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

It was amazing!!! We absolutely loved it and the kids got a real buzz out of all the activities that we did. We wish that we could have had more time but we had to share with other classes. It was so easy to use and it really brought science alive in the classroom. We are going to move into a renewable energy inquiry after such a successful, motivating and inspiring week with your kit. Thank you so much. Catherine Steenson Teacher and Learner in room 3.

Love that they are easy to follow for the kids and teachers a like. I had to leave a couple for relievers to run and they were able to pick them up and continue.

Te Kura absolutely love the kits. They are used during our Huinga ako sessions and have proven a real hit. Akonga in Wairoa and Tairawhiti receive lessons and enjoy the hands-on activities and links to the world around them. Science has come alive for them. Thank you.
