Of teachers report most or all students engaged as a result of using our Science Kits.

The kits are an excellent science resource, and has definitely made it easier to teach science in our primary school. They give a starting point from where teachers can go in lots of directions. We couldn’t afford to buy all the equipment provided in the kits so they are an excellent resource.

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!!!!!!

This kit was amazing. The tamariki loved using the activities and were very engaged. The activities were at a good level and the learning outcomes were perfect for our unit we are doing. Everything was ready to go, so it saved so much time and made science accessible for me as a teacher to present to the class. Without this kit our space activities would have been very boring. Thank you very much!

Students found the kit engaging and fun, especially the eDNA. The kit is also helpful to teachers who lack the confidence to teach science – it makes it easy for teachers to teach the concepts.

As a teacher I have found the Science kits great for exposing my students to science ideas they might not normally look at as part of our science teaching. Thank you for all your organisation resourcing and putting the kits together.
