“A great kit that introduces a complex subject. A great place to start for exploration of the subject that can branch out. Kids are very involved as this is new learning. Well packaged and presented resources. A good deal of thought is put into it to enable all students to particpate in the learning.”

“I liked the resources and thought they were well made. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars as I felt like it was hard for me to get my head around what the children were supposed to do. I also thought some of the information was aimed more at intermediate level children while I have Yr 5-6.”
