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.

Avonhead School

Absolutely engaging and easy to use. Loved the laminated cards with instructions on Able to share plans with release teacher and LA so easily. The best bit was the in-depth science knowledge explained in the resources which is often lacking in science resources where you can extend those more divergent learners.

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!

Hilltop School

Brilliant resource! Takes all the stress out of tracking down resources, which we just don’t have the time or budget for. Kids are engaged and exploring theories and discovering so much more. THANK YOU.

Kaponga School

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!
