This kit scaffolded the kids through learning and was wonderful as it provided a great level of problem solving for those students who rushed theirs... They had to do it carefully for it to work. It was an activity that promoted collaboration and yet provided each student with their own learning journey that that could take home and explain to their parents. I couldn't recommend it enough!

The students are motivated by the hands-on learning, and this helps them to understand circuits and electricity.

Kia ora school kit. After building vocab the tamariki got stuck into hands-on mahi straight away. With guidance they were able to complete the activity booklet given as well and try the online circuit on DCAC. Lots of learning happening and I could tell the kids were engaged throughout wanting to make their circuit more interesting. In the end they made a buzzer game which turned into a light game as we couldn't seem to get the buzzers to work.

Room24 had so much fun with this kit. The planning and the science concepts concepts were really easy to follow... I will do this again. The resource pack was easy to use, the booklet was the highlight. I have many funny stories about that pack but that's another story. The way we plan meant I taught Power it up half of term 2 and the other half will be taught in term 3. The children I taught in term 2 have all moved on I have a new bunch of children. Apologies for not sending feedback however thus far my feedback is awesome, really enjoyed the kit thanku

Absolutely fantastic kit. The children asked every day if we would be doing the next lesson that day. They were engaged and encouraged and helped one another. It was perfect for their age and I felt like they definitely learned. I shared their successes with their parents and their parents were really happy with the project.

What cross curricular learning came about as a result of this kit? It linked in with our resilience teaching. Able to link to writing - procedures and explainations.
What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? Students would have liked to create a circuit of their own, but we ran out of time.

Students were really engaged in creating their circuits. They got to struggle at times, which we wanted - problem solving! My students were really proud of what they had learnt and keen to share it with their whanau. I loved how the kit came with everything we needed.
