Such an awesome kit!!!!!!! I’m not too great at science, as I don’t know how to teach or where to start, but these kits… I loved it! Already booked another three, and can’t wait to get into them with my students. A mātou mihi nui!!!!!!

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

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.

Some great hands on activities. We were able to deliver some of these activities well for our Special Needs students. The clay model earth, plaster of paris and gem identification in particular were ideal for us. Many thanks.
