How did this resource help students understand process of elimination using data analysis? The kit really broke the process down for them. The 'If... then...' statement activity to start with and coding them in Scratch provided them with a good understanding of the basics. Working on the case studies afterwards with all the fantastic made up data (x ray, lab tests, photo, etc) had them apply what they had learned making the whole process real and tangible.

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? Very positive feedback from both parents and students. Several students told me it was their favourite inquiry of the year :)
“This has been a fantastic kit - and we are not finished with it! My whole class has been so engaged even if to start with some students weren't too sure, thinking they'd have to wan tot be vets to enjoy it. The activities are varied, the pretend clinic worked wonders, a very easy topic to include reading and writing, presentations and more.”

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? Great challenge, really engaging unit. Great to get community involvement through the local vets.
“It took me a bit to get my head around this kit, luckily there were a few of us doing at school so we could boundce ideas off one another. We shared the kit resources so the groups working on "patients" could be smaller. Our teacher who was the first teacher to start created the coding grids on old real estate signs which worked well and we passed this on. One of our teachers went to the local op shop and got loads of animal toys that the students would "treat". Our principal is friends with the local vet so we got lots of props to create a vet clinic. The students loved that it was linked to Fairytales. They enjoyed diagnosing and treating their characters. The school even purchased microphones so the students could create podcasts. My class did it from the point of view of the character and in an interview style. Even the least engaged writer and speaker were engaged!”

How did this resource help students understand process of elimination using data analysis? Unfortunatley, end of year activities and commitments, meant that not enough time was spent on this.
