How did this resource help students understand process of elimination using data analysis? The School Kit Story Vet is a great resource for teaching students the concept of process of elimination using data analysis. By engaging students in a hands-on, interactive environment, the kit allows them to gather data, make observations, and apply logical reasoning to solve problems. The process of elimination comes into play as students analyze various pieces of information—such as clues, characteristics, or outcomes—and systematically rule out options that don’t fit. For example, in a story-based scenario, students might use data to eliminate certain possibilities (e.g., types of animals, causes of problems) based on the evidence they gather. The inclusion of coding helps students structure their thinking, teaching them to create algorithms that eliminate incorrect choices step by step. This fosters critical thinking and the ability to make decisions based on data, all while keeping students engaged in a fun, dynamic learning process.

There is no way I could have pulled a unit like this together, which is the amazing thing about all the School Kits. To have everything provided, so well researched and a lesson plan to follow - what more could you ask for?! Such a neat way of using realistic scenarios to enhance teaching and learning.”

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? One parent said their child absolutely loved Story Vets - it not only sparked their interest in animals and science but they also loved solving the problems.

“Story Vets 24 lets you become a vet and figure out what’s wrong with animals like dogs, horses, cows, or chickens! You get to look at clues, like test results, and use your brain to rule out what doesn’t fit until you find the right answer. Then, you rewrite the animal’s story to show what happened and how you helped. It’s like solving a big mystery! This activity is super fun, helps you learn science, writing, and teamwork, and shows what real vets do every day. If you love animals and solving problems, you’ll love Story Vets!”
