The Power Kit was a great starting point for learning about energy and the basics of how electricity works via basic circuitry. I did find the kit lacking in direction. There was a bare minimum of information about energy and electricity in the kit and online. I did most of my research away from the website and found other activities separate from it. The children did love story and pictures, and the popcorn.

Students really loved the poster and story to start the unit. Disappointed that the 2 playdoughs were no different as although we ordered the special water ( PbTech $38 - never received) so justed used filtered water. Maybe could be supplied in the kit or a group order could be made. (happy to pay) They also loved the videos and the problem solving that went about with their creations.

The children were really engaged and loved making the Rube Goldberg machines and were very successful. A few of the LEDs were blown though/ didn’t work.

Our students found the activities very engaging. It was very appropriate to my class level of NE and year 1 and they love the hands on aspect of it and learning about what electricity is

How did the components of this kit allow your students to explore the topic of energy transformation? The popcorn did but as I said above my batteries weren't working so I couldn't get the electric dough to work.

Hi. I have used the Counties Power it up Kit in the past and thought that this kit would be up to the same standard. I found it really disappointing. I didn't use my kit until Term 4 and by then the batteries were not working and I couldn't get the electric dough to work so didn't even share it with my class. Some of the resources were ok such as the poster and poem.
