“This kit was a great way to teach my Year 4-5 class about saving water. Over 10 days, they investigated water-saving claims and learned about things like measuring water and working together to make a difference. It connected to real-world issues like water scarcity and climate change. A fun and important resource!”

“I have Year 3 and 4s, I know it wasn't for Year 3s particularly but they did really well. The visuals were really good, although too large for my classroom to be permanently displayed which was a shame. The collecting food scraps one was the hardest one to meausre.”
