“Looking at world records was a hook for the ākonga then we made the world records as rotations eg human benchmark, 10m heel toe walk, dice stacking etc..and Ākonga were really engaged . Lots of mahitahi ( working together) and wānanga ( discussion) Data was collected at each rotation and then analysed by ākonga, looking at trends eg girls, boys, shoe size etc and then having a go at graphing the data.”

“This kit was so much fun. Students could be creative and silly and learn! It sparked lots of conversations about fair testing and the practice of being an effective time keeper was fascinating. I would highly recommend to others. There are so many ways this kit could be integrated into other curriculum areas.”

“A super interactive kit. The class enjoyed looking at real records in amazement and then being able to make their own up. Lots of good structure so the kids could test and change ideas, narrow them down a bit.”
