Bomb Gone: Nuclear Free Pacific Reviews

How did this kit build awareness and understanding of the NZ Navy and it's contributions to our history? Using the pictures as a launch pad into further research and other videos helped where they could see it in action and listen to the officers recounts.

What would you say the impact of this kit has been on your students? Students really enjoyed the inquiry process and it helped them learn how to be critical.
Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? Having the resources categorised by era helped put the timeline together and compare and contrast the main ideas from the eras.
Lots of great hands on materials. The teacher guide was a bit confusing - would have been nice to have some more structured 'pick up and go' lessons to follow.

How did this kit build awareness and understanding of the NZ Navy and it's contributions to our history? None of my students had any whanau who were involved in the NZ Navy, so learning about what happened on Christmas Island and about the Rainbow Warrior sinking was new learning for them. The teacher shared her own story about visiting / seeing the Rainbow

What would you say the impact of this kit has been on your students? The students in this class struggled with the concept of being nuclear free as it is not something that they have grown up even knowing about. The main impact for these stuents is that they now have some knowledge of our nuclear free histories.
Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? All the resources were engaging for the students. They picked up the newspaper articles and we had to do several lessons about the way they hd been written and the emotive language used in them.
My students found this kit a challenge to engage with. We felt like it would have been more suited to an older age group that Y7. As the teacher, I thought it would be insteresting for the students to learn about, knowing that some of their relatives may have been active in the nuclear free protests in NZ, but we struggld to find any of our whanau who knew anything. That being said, the stdeunts now have some knowledge of a time in our histories that continues to impact upon our lives in the current day.

What would you say the impact of this kit has been on your students? They got a good understanding of how small NZ is compared to other countries. Also they saw the different voices that were trying to protect NZ i.e Navy, protests
Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? The whole kit was suitable for my students. The best thing is you are able to build on the kit by using it for inquiry.
This kit had good resources to follow and you are able to adapt this resource for extended research. This was good value for my students to find out about some history about New Zealand and how people protected the nation from Nuclear weapons. It was also good to link it with environmental issues. Thank you for the Kit.

How did this kit build awareness and understanding of the NZ Navy and it's contributions to our history? While we weren't focusing on this element, students were able to build a good knowledge base around some aspects of the RNZN's role in the Pacific and opened up some discussions about the peaceful uses of a navy. It would serve as a good introduction prio

What would you say the impact of this kit has been on your students? Generally positive - many of the items in the kit connected to things we had studied or at least discussed, so it was quite a useful reminder for students of the areas we'd previously covered (we used the kit after completing the topic of study).
Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? All of the primary sources, especially the newspaper pages (eg June 1 1957 for the 2nd British nuclear test) - not only for the relevant story but also the context of what other things were happening in the world at that time (eg massacre in Algeria, Brit
A useful and visually appealing collection of resources. The replication of primary sources in particular was very well done and provided for a lot of discussion - the students were highly engaged and there was a lot of hands on learning and interest in finding out more about the particular item in hand.
