How did the components of this kit allow your students to explore the topic of energy transformation? The components of this kit provoked interest and a sense of wonderment.

“This kit allowed students to understand ‘power’. As a class we unpacked what ‘power’ meant to them. I have been fortunate to have quite a few ‘science-minded’ students, so they were able to support other students and their understanding. The hands-on aspect of the kit was perfect for this age group to stimulate interest, wondering and discussion. The discussions between students was great and some information was recalled during zoom sessions.”

How did the components of this kit allow your students to explore the topic of energy transformation? The kids loved that we had hands on activities but it was hard to do in a class of 24 students as they needed a lot of teacher assistance, almost 1 on 1.
“It was good but a little hard to process at times - it was hard to find the order in which to teach. Having all the materials was fantastic. Some of the links on the videos were incorrect.”

How did the components of this kit allow your students to explore the topic of energy transformation? Very hands on great for them to explore with and if something wasn't working, getting them to explore why.
