How did this resource help students understand process of elimination using data analysis? Tied in very well to other similar House of Sciecne kits, so built on skills that they already had begun to develop, but took them further into the elimination process.
How well did the resource help students better understand the world of veterinarians?

Did this kit increase your students awareness of the skills needed to work in the vet industry? The kids already think they are all going to be vets when they are older.

Great challenge!
What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? Kids wanted to keep the bits and pieces in the kits (wern't allowed to!) but this in itself showed that they valued it and found it engaging and useful.
“A great kit full of well designed resources. Someone has put a lot of time and thought into designing this kit. Amazing graphics, great hands on equipment and all kits like to pretend to be a vet! Great critical thinking. We used this as an end of term activity, and even with tired kids they were engaged.”

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? Lots of smiles, high engagement, satisfaction at making the correct diagnosis
“What a neat kit. The kids loved being able to experience part of what it would like being a vet. The unplugged coding to start wasn’t a hit, but the hands on case files, standardised tests and calculating TPR were great. Lots of critical thinking, collaboration, talk moves and justification.”

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? The students were going home excited about what next.
“This kit got the tamiriki really hooked in when we made the provocation. They enjoyed learning about the different responsibilities of a vet. The highlight was definitely diagnosing the 4 patients. It was a fun idea to have these patients as familiar characters from well known stories.”

How did this resource help students understand process of elimination using data analysis? The students took a while to understand the elimination process, but doing one together as a model gave them a structure to follow. It was great having the video of the vet revealing the actual diagnosis as it gave a sense of authenticity.

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? The students were very motivated to come to our Wednesday afternoon sessions - 7 sessions (1.5 hours each). Obviously word of mouth had spread, as those that had opted in to Kapahaka wanted to join our Vet School sessions. I have been trying to add some photos, but couldn't get them to drag or upload into the box below!
“Story Vets was run collaboratively with another teacher (both of us had a kit), as we were responsible for a mix of students from three classes (due to the timeslot being used as an opt in for our Kapahaka performance team). This was an extremely motivating topic, as most of the students had their own pets and had been to a vet with their pet before. We introduced real life vet experiences alongside the ones given in the Vet School Kit. Tying in aspects such as TPR for humans as well, gave the students a good insight into their own health and vital signs. The unit became bigger than we actually anticipated (which was fabulous!!), as we found some extra texts etc to incorporate into the unit. Using the fairy tales was also a great way to hook in the students, incorporating the unplugged coding.”

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? Kids enjoyed the kit, "fun, interesting"
“It was a fun and engaging Kit. The resources supplied were realistic and kids enjoyed manipulating them. I did find it took a lot of brain power to get my head around all the components. Despite the links sheet for some reason I struggled a bit with this one.”
