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.
Measurement Matters

Foxton Beach School
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).

The kits were really well resourced and bilingual which were awesome and made it user friendly for our tauira of maori background.

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.

Conversations just went all over the show. It was great to relate what we know in our own lives and how it relates to this kit.
