“Analysis of the data shows significant positive impact regardless of school size, location or demographic. It excited and inspired children and brought them a greater appreciation of science, maths and education. The positive effect on teachers is obvious on all indicators, especially through the sixty comments they volunteered.”  Professor Scott Bowman – Vice Chancellor Central Queensland University.

“I unreservedly applaud David on his exceptional work and give my complete endorsement to this wonderful project which is innovative and effective.” Professor Neil Anderson - Pearl Logan Chair of Rural Education School of Education & Cairns Institute.

Comments from teachers across north Queensland:

“Great to have all the necessary equipment and relevant worksheets at our fingertips. Highly motivational.”

“My class and I have always loved science and this continued to add to the enjoyment. Keep it up. It’s a great program.”

“Great fun and well organised kit!”

“Easy to follow instructions. Students really enjoyed it.”

“The “kit” format, so we could just run with the science, was great. The experiments were exciting and got the children involved and engaged. Lots of great opportunities for literacy and learning across other KLA’s. I, a science-phobe, thoroughly enjoyed myself. Thanks.”

Excellent resources – very easy to follow and fun reactions. Lots of scope to take it further. Generated lots of interest and excitement among the students. Would be excellent for getting teachers who may be hesitant about hands on science involved. Thanks.”
