Learnt a lot myself as electricity is not a strong point for me. Love the background notes and lesson plans in the manual … gives you confidence to teach the unit better . Everything you need in one place. Kits are so well organised and presented. A good balance of discovering and exploring. My children love the kits and always look forward to the next lesson. Totally engaged. I am so excited to have discovered House Of Science kits. Thank you so much for this resource and great service. It has revitalised my teaching programme

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.

This kit was amazing! The students particularly loved the activity of investigating the white powder – it was the most engaging activity. All the students enjoyed it and it made them feel like forensic scientists. The teacher manual was also super helpful. I liked that there were many student packs available as well as the binded booklets (I gave out one per group).

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.

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.
