What influence has this kit had in promoting the longevity of water saving habits and what other water related topics did your students come up with? This really encouraged the students to use a water bottle even at home to reduce the amount of washing up. At school the students became water warriors - encouraging people to fill water bottles rather than use the fountains where lots of the water fell on the ground while drinking.

“Great kit - Students really enjoyed the investigation part of this kit - documenting how much water they each used and collectively used at home. Encouraged good discussions about small ways to save water.”

How did the activity help students make connections between circuit theory and real-world applications? This went a little over their heads but maybe needed more time allocated from my end.

“This was a great set of resrouces that supported out unit of work perfectly. The kit made our lessons engaging and meaningful to our students, who need tangible tools to learn.”

How did the activity help students make connections between circuit theory and real-world applications? It helped them by seeing how we could all investigate and make a change as a group.

“I chose to add the Water Savers School Kit onto the end of a water saving unit run through another provider. It was enjoyable to discuss and record our efforts. Some of the process/plan was a bit unclear for me. The fact checking was confusing for some but it was good learning. Often not enough online to be able to find multiple sources to support for most claims. We filled in most of the graphs really quickly but others were very difficult to fill in the time given. It's unfortunate that I can only use this kit once.”

What was the impact of the daily stamping practice in your classroom and which water benchmark did your students find most fascinating? It was hard for us to do this successsfully as we did it in a Year 8 Science class and we only see them twice a week. That meant we couldn't get the daily updates that they would get in homeroom. It sort of lost it's appeal because of this and we couldn't get momentum going.

“The Watersavers unit was used by our Year 8 cohort where we linked it into the particle nature of matter and an environmental topic. There were some great ideas in the unit and the take home portion was exciting but unfortunately not all our students bought into that side of it. The concept of the amount of water used in manufacturing (eg phones), along with the ideas about how much water a whale gulps was intriguing for the students and really engaged them.”
