How did this kit build awareness and understanding of the NZ Navy and it's contributions to our history? It was interesting to see how the Navy was instrumental and affected by the presence of Nuclear political decisions and general policies. The students had little idea of Navy involvement in the beginning.

How did this kit build awareness and understanding of the NZ Navy and it's contributions to our history? This part was great but also the timeline was very large for what the students actually had to do. Having it half the size would have been better as well an an answers sheet for the dates as a few we had trouble with.

What would you say the impact of this kit has been on your students? Our year 11 history students explore 1.4 history in the context of the rainbow warrior bombings an then continue with exam preparation on this topic. I taught this integrating with the history material many of my class had covered but applied to the math

Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? Loved these, my maths class wall doesn't exactly look like a maths classroom, but we know how it connects!

“I delayed this kit until term 3. My teaching has changed and now I am teaching maths. So I utilised this kit with students in a maths class. This meant some aspects of the kit were not used but we found many ways to bring maths out within the teaching. I created a practice level 1 internal acheivement standard "Use mathematical methods to explore problems that relate to life in Aotearoa New Zealand or the Pacific region"The cross section resource of the sunk rainbow warrior became the initial context. estimation, measurement of the hole from the bomb area calculation of a welded plate to cover the hole volume of the ship internally (more resources form navy archives to help with this) Rates of water inflow and outflow to raise the ship (again navy archives to help with this) travel around nz and locations, timelines and events across the inner harbour on the night of the bombing”
