“Super exciting kit - was a treat opening. Tamariki enjoyed the pictures and newspaper articles -was a step back in time and they were excited to see what each item was. They commented about how old the items looked and we talked about how they were treasures to be explored and they may be able to explore their family treasures at home.”

“When we received this kit the students were really quite excited! They were very excited about the cards and historical photos, cards, tokens, etc. They felt quite excited to read through the information and during this unit I showed the class a small nugget of gold that my son had found down in Otago during the summer holidays. What a great unit of materials to share with 32 year 7&8s and the conversations we discussed as a class. I would be very happy to use this again. Thank you for taking the time to find these resources and materials and writing the unit. I really was much appreciated!!!”

How did the activity help students make connections between circuit theory and real-world applications? Students could navigate the resources well. From our exploration we created a museum focusing on some areas we had highlighted close to us. Lots of interest in Chin Ting
“Plenty of material to explore, keeps students engaged. Fantastic kit.”

“I loved all of the visual pictures that were included in the kit. The online research component was very good for some links but some were a bit difficult to follow and were perhaps a bit to complex for my learners.”

“This was a fab kit for our Year 8s - great potential to be used for mini projects or greater ones. Did need a lot of teacher support with some of the research. Great way to learn about our varied and rich national stories.”
