Marine Biology and Aquaculture kit launch

After weeks of thinking, planning, creating resources and trialing the activities, our kit was reading to be launched at the meeting of the Regional Council today who have sponsored the kit.

Our brief was:

• 3- 4 activities pitched at NZC levels 1-4
• activities must be hands on
• all materials required must be contained within the box
• must cost less than $1000
• must have an aquaculture component
• teacher manual must be relatively short

Chris spoke briefly about the House of Science and its aims then we had a chance to talk about out role as participant teachers, the activities in the kit and how this will relate to real life teaching in classrooms.

The response was positive and we felt a great sense of achievement to have the kit complete and about to be sent out to schools.
