What influence has this kit had in promoting the longevity of water saving habits and what other water related topics did your students come up with? Great changes. In the classroom we needed water for the experiment on school kit site, afterwards the students wouldn't let me tip the water out! I used the water over several days to water our plants instead.We also looked at how water is used to generate electricity and what happens when the lakes are low. We researched dishwashers versus handwashing and how much water is used in comparison.

How have your students' perceptions of water conservation changed since using the resource and did it foster a sense of responsibility and awareness in your classroom? Yes. I think I have covered this in the above.

“The water savers kit was awesome. The graphs for the walls for students to stamp each day was a great way to engage them in the inquiry. So visual and current as we updated each day. So fabulous to see water saving actions increase across the 10 days. Great to have stickers, a playlist, a badge and a coaster to go home to help whanau make these changes too, and what family didn't love the chore chooser?!”
