Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? students liked the security and permanence of the website and the variety of the sources packs
With senior students able to pick their topics for Research assessment this kit has been invaluable to gather both primary and secondary sources but the variety of sources has been great. The website and the connection to anti nuclear information and written sources has also been of great value

What would you say the impact of this kit has been on your students? It was just a really good interactive way for them to practise using primary sources, and engage in the moral/ ethical debates around nuclear testing + our security.
Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? The photos with descriptions.
I LOVED using this kit. I actually ended up using it with my year 12 class, as I felt it was a bit too detailed for my juniors. We are looking at the cold war, and Operation Grapple. The class got really involved. Would recommend 10/10

How did this kit build awareness and understanding of the NZ Navy and it's contributions to our history? The kit illustrated clearly events leading up to NZ anti nuclear stance. The students were proud of the fact that despite being such a small nation, we made a strong statement which still impacts us today.

What would you say the impact of this kit has been on your students? Made them aware of the effects of nuclear war far and what took place regarding NZ becoming nuclear free. The investigation of the Rainbow Warrior fascinated them. Gave them a sense of pride as New Zealanders.
Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? Wall display
Really good kit. The supporting resources were diverse with good links and wall displays. Fascinating topic that hooked the kids in. They wanted to know more and were motivated to undertake their own research. Very interested in NZ history of anti-nuclear stance.

Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? The timeline and then the website
This kit was fantastic and engaged my students (Yr 5-8). Placing items on a timeline really got a lot of researching and discussion happening. The range of media used meant there was something for every akonga to engage with. The moral discussions allowed us to see the perspective from the other sides of the situation.

What would you say the impact of this kit has been on your students? Some were keen to learn more, and these kits will be used again with the new NZ Histories coming into play with the revamp.
Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? Loved the badges that was for sure- using and understanding the time lines and connecting this to the use of timelines in their English classes too.
This kit was very interactive, our Year 9-10 used the kit and many of the students were unaware of the events in our history. Our Year 7-8 Science teacher used the kit, but felt there was so much more to do with it and would use it again in more depth. This was also the view of our Social Sciences Department.
