“I think we rushed a little with the scientific thinking for this kit, we just missed a window due to lockdown to tie it in well with our inquiry learning. We did develop the student's understanding of scientific change and their perceptions around the taste of healthy foods.”

“I found the material to be very engaging. A slide show was made from the material for our online students to do the exercises at home. Only one person completed the exercise so I repeated the work when we returned to school as a class. The children really enjoyed choosing and trying the alternative ingredients. Most enjoyed their creations and were inspired to try other alternatives. The science that lent itself to the unit of work was excellent and informative. Also the mathematics that could be used in a practical way. All and all an excellent resource.”
