The kit as usual was so well thought out and easy to pick up and use. I love the information it gives to develop my own knowledge as the teacher so I can try and facilitate as meaningful of an experience as possible. All student information is really clear for them to follow, so they all get to have some independence as growing scientists!

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!

What a wonderfully creative kit. The children loved solving the crimes. We had great feedback from the teachers who were working with this kit too. The children were really engaged and the teachers loved the topic. Many thanks for another fabulous three weeks of science.

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 is the great thing about this resource is that teachers are free to adapt everything to their own class. Collaborative Learning of the measuring tools. The concepts in the box on the whole was too hard. My kids don’t even know what a stop watch, timer tape measure is let alone the harder concept tools. I pushed the desks to the side got the kits out took the tools out of the boxes and let the kids explore.
