How effective was the "Vet School" component in engaging students in the diagnostic process?
How did this resource help students understand process of elimination using data analysis?
Students found it hard at first to really read and interpret the data but this is because we used the kit with a 3/4 classroom. They often struggled with explaining their thinking if they weren't able to eliminate something (e.g. the wood allergy in the wolf) but this was often because they had already found their cause.
How well did the resource help students better understand the world of veterinarians?
Did this kit increase your students awareness of the skills needed to work in the vet industry?
Yes absolutely! They have a much greater awareness of what is involved in being a vet and all that they do.
Have you noticed a change in / has this kit challenged your students problem solving and critical thinking skills?
What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit?
Lots of parents have been commenting on how much the children have been enjoying the learning and how much conversation they're having about it at home. The student's are eager to learn more about it each week.
