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

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.

We continued with the year 1 and 4 with a yogurt maker and ice cream maker to understand how we heated things up and cooled them down (insulation) and experimented with a yogurt maker then into an ice cream maker. This allowed them to use some of the language but in a different context. We also used it to ground their knowledge in non-fiction informational writing. Diagrams, labeling etc so not exact but a great as well. The kids would get so excited about the lessons. When I as the principal came into see what was happening the students were so excited to share their experiences and their writing on the days.

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.

It was fantastic. We had a blast. We found lots of other experiments etc that we could do with or about water online. The children were really enthusiastic and interested in what was happening. There was a lot of science and questionning that took place in our classroom. We are very lucky to have been able to use it.
