It was a fun, hands-on kit that my class loved. I had a student teacher, and she found the kit really easy to use. She could just pick up the teacher manual and teach a lesson. So good!

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!

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

Thank you, the students really enjoyed these activities. The Making Sherbet one was good for recalling their prior knowledge of acids etc. The kit was clean and prepared for ease of use. Throughout these activities the students asked some great questions and made some good comparisons. This learning was in the midst of working through their Science Fair projects and it has given students some good ideas for next year. Thank you again. Ngā mihi.
