We thought this was an outstanding resource. The kids had a fantastic time predicting and experimenting. As a teacher I have always shied away from electronics but after this I am much more confident. So my greatest appreciation for this kit!

Rotokawa School
Brilliant resource! Takes all the stress out of tracking down resources, which we just don’t have the time or budget for. Kids are engaged and exploring theories and discovering so much more. THANK YOU.

Kaponga School
This was a very good resource. The activities were well explained and supported with the resources provided in the kit. The kids really enjoyed spending a week with this resource, they particularly loved the small skeletons they could manipulate. It lead them on other learning journey’s as they had questions they wanted answered. Thanks for the opportunity to have this resource.

Absolutely engaging and easy to use. Loved the laminated cards with instructions on Able to share plans with release teacher and LA so easily. The best bit was the in-depth science knowledge explained in the resources which is often lacking in science resources where you can extend those more divergent learners.

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.
