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 kit was a fantastic resource that made it really easy to deliver this unit. I loved using it and will definitely be keen to use more kits next year.

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

The tamariki loved this Science kit, they were able to look at some of the food in a different way, the experiments were awesome. Nga mihi nui ki a koe, koutou ko nga tangata I awhina ki te whakahaere tenei mahi Putaiao.

As a teacher I have found the Science kits great for exposing my students to science ideas they might not normally look at as part of our science teaching. Thank you for all your organisation resourcing and putting the kits together.
