This kit was the most engaging for my boy heavy class, we had so much fun that we were able to entice other teachers within the kura to give it a go too. Conversations moved from wow look at how high that went to, wow we need a lot of force or thrust to get that high.

An amazing resource that we feel very lucky to be able to access. Our whole school of 170 students uses each kit when booked.

Tikorangi School
My class really enjoyed using this kit. I opened it up and had different learning stations after teaching the activity cards. It was fantastic to hear the students’ Te Reo Maori increase.

Foxton Beach School
This was a very good resource. The activities were well explained and supported with the resources provided in the kit. The kids really enjoyed spending a week with this resource, they particularly loved the small skeletons they could manipulate. It lead them on other learning journey’s as they had questions they wanted answered. Thanks for the opportunity to have this resource.

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.
