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.

How did the components of this kit allow your students to explore the topic of energy transformation? It was good but it wasn't a part of the team learning concept so it was difficult to include this kit into our daily programme.rning.rning

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.

This is an interesting kit with flexible lessons. The electrical components - batteries and LEDs didn't work very well and I had to spend nearly $100 to buy enough working 9volt batteries, connectors and new LEDs for our hub. The students loved the electric playdough, storytelling, and the Rube Goldberg lessons. As usual, the term filled up with many un timetabled practises etc, so I was not able to teach every lesson I had planned. I liked how the lessons and the resources were very flexible in how you used them.

The activities were very useful and easy for the children to use and access. They were simple enough that the students could understand the learning behind it. There were a variety of ideas and tools to use that involved materials but also activities that didnt involve any extra materials.

What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? So many wonderings that the students had! This kit promoted team work, curiosity, questioning and hypothesizing and encouraged them to think deeper about how the world works around them, especially electricity!!
What opportunities arose for cross curricular learning while teaching this kit? So many ways to integrate this kit! Next time I use this kit I would love to get the students to do a research project on something that interests them that has a circuit! Would also love to go down the solar route a bit more!

How did the components of this kit allow your students to explore the topic of energy transformation? The components of this kit got the children curious about how electricity works. They wondered about the different types of electricity (battery, solar, lightning) and how it was generated. One student even researched how lightbulbs work!! So much potenti
Such an awesome opportunity for the kids to learn about power, electricity and circuits! A great resource I would definitely use again!

How did the components of this kit allow your students to explore the topic of energy transformation? They were able to light the led lights but took forever to realise if it was lit or not
The lights were very dim and broke very quickly
