An amazing resource that we feel very lucky to be able to access. Our whole school of 170 students uses each kit when booked.

Tikorangi School
This was a very interesting kit to use in an urban school – a lot of new learning for students and discussion around where our milk comes from. The digestive system teacher-led activity was super engaging and “yucky” (the information certainly stuck!).
Moo to you

Napier Central School
We absolutly loved using the Space Out Science Kit. The students really enjoyed the activities and learning opportunities available. As the teacher, I found it easy to follow through the lessons/activities and thought the kit was well resourced and set up – it was simple and fun!

Arthur Miller 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.

This was the first House of Science Kit that I’ve used and I am super impressed! Great teacher material / background info, easy to follow experiments and ALL resources provided! So easy to use and the discussions that the experiments prompted were invaluable!
