I love them, they are providing enough resources for all kids to use. The equipment is often well beyond our budget can afford and the students are engaged while working on an activity. There are some activities that our babies can do and then some which challenge the minds off ur bigger students. Thank you House of Science for providing the opportunities for our students to learn about science and for ensuring all resources are available to us as well. NGA MIHI NUI

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.

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

They are fabulous. Having all of the resources at hand is so helpful. I can usually adapt the activities to suit the year 1’s. I really appreciate the Science Capabilities as the key focus so that even if a concept is too complex at certain levels for the year 1’s we still know that the capabilities are being well consolidated.
