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.
A fantastic resource -a little tricky at times to get to work -making sure the tape was used correctly but extremely rewarding when they got it right. Probably best Y3 and up.
