How did the components of this kit allow your students to explore the topic of energy transformation? First experiment, no because it didn’t work. The others, yes. Particularly the popcorn experiment as the children could visually see and hear the change.

What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? This kit links in well with our term theme of Creativity. This means we can continue looking at energy transformation in a creative way in making our own inventions, which was touched on in one for the S.K lessons
What opportunities arose for cross curricular learning while teaching this kit? We linked writing in during most lessons. For example, pretending we were mad scientists and using the popcorn experiment to then write using our 5 senses

“Lots of resources provided with the kit. Website took a while to get used to, but particularly because there is so much on it (this is a good thing). The most interesting experiment (in my opinion) unfortunately didn’t work, the first experiment. This was because the lights we were supplied with required a minimum of 3V to work. We were supplied with 1.5V batteries. This discovery was through our own trial and error at home. Unfortunately the children didn’t get to participate in this experiment like they should have because of this fault. But we were able to show them an example. When we reached out for help unfortunately we didn’t really get much guidance or support. The popcorn experiment was a successful experiment which they all enjoyed, and we were also able to link in writing easily.”

How did the components of this kit allow your students to explore the topic of energy transformation? It was able to give them a bigger word bank for different words associated with energy transformation, as well as being able to understand how everything around them has circuits that they weren't even aware of.

“The power kit was a really great idea to get my tamariki focused and engaged with new learning. I did find parts of the kit a little confusing to use - or not incredibly necessary for my tamariki. The aspect that they were most engaged with creating the circuits, but unfortunately our circuits did not light up. I was unsure if it was due to the batteries being dead or the conductive/non-conductive playdough that I made. We tried multiple different set ups to try and get it lit up, but unfortunately it wouldn't work.”

“The power kit caught the children's attention very quickly with the contents. The results and projects we explored were very hands on, just what 5 year Olds love! Unfortunately the batteries provided weren't powerful enough but we improvised with a 9v and these worked well.”

“Getting set up was the hardest part - I like to have everything in paper form in front of me so I can easily map out my teaching pathway - this was a little tricky with everything being digital from the dashboard of your website.”

“The range and variety in this kit for the students is great. It hand all learners involved and encouraged team work. As a small rural school having the opportunity to use a school kit helped to evolve the students ideas from their minds into real hands on learning. Ngaa mihi.”

“It was a wonderful kit for most 7-year-olds and older. 5 year olds who have just started with their learning journey was too busy for them with small visuals. They are unable to read or write and using google and visuals work better.”
