We did most of the activities in this kit and the students loved it! The kids loved using the stop watches too. The UV flashlights and discovering more “germs” on our hands was a hit.The sneezing zone experiment soon made us forget and we had loads of fun. Thank you for putting these kits together and making them fun to learn Science concepts. Also thank you for all the clear instructions plus even instructions on how to get everything back into the container! Much appreciated.

My Year 2/3 children really engaged with this kit. They loved the hands on nature of it, and enjoyed exploring the scientific concepts in an open-ended way. They really loved the Newton’s Cradle. Thank you for such an amazing quality kit of resources!

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!

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.

Te Kura absolutely love the kits. They are used during our Huinga ako sessions and have proven a real hit. Akonga in Wairoa and Tairawhiti receive lessons and enjoy the hands-on activities and links to the world around them. Science has come alive for them. Thank you.
