The foundation has walked alongside House of Science since 2015 enabling the growth into more regions and resource translation into te reo Māori.
An amazing resource that we feel very lucky to be able to access. Our whole school of 170 students uses each kit when booked.

This is one of the best science kits enjoyed by myself and the students, especially my year 7/8. The experiments expressed the wow! factor, they also showed high interest in the nano chem relationship to their environment. Their minds were challenged to comprehend the concept of nano technology. The akonga were highly motivated and looked forward to each lesson. I used the kit every day for the two weeks. I especially enjoyed Te Reo kupu, these kupu were instilled in the akonga learning. Looking forward to the next kit. Physics is a must for akonga in this area.

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.

I really liked this kit. It’s so great to have everything ready. The teacher manual resource is excellent. I liked having an observation handout for the ocean acidification experiment. The priority for me is that the children have background and theory from the teacher (which is clearly provided in the teacher manual) and that they have a hands-on experience. All the activities in this kit allow for that, so 10 stars. It is also nice for the children to record their learning. Worksheets are much less exciting, but I like them so that the children are able to go back to them for reference and as evidence of achieving the Science Capabilities. Great balance 🙂

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.
