Loan Kits
We’ve developed several object-based learning loan kits for use at school. Our popular loan kits can be hired on a weekly basis and support your in-class delivery through physical resources and suggested activities.
Minibeasts
This kit contains a number of hands-on activities to support your class in learning about the smallest creatures of our natural environment.
Fossils
Centred around a collection of real-life handling fossils, this kit is jam-packed with hands-on objects and activities. It aims to support understanding about how science has pieced together a picture of the history of our planet. We use fossils to look at the global picture and have locally sourced examples to inspire some home-grown geology enquiry.
Human Evolution
Your learners can explore evolution concepts using replica skulls and other supporting material. Skulls include Paranthropus boisei, Australopithecus, Homo sapiens sapiens (Cro-Magnon), Homo sapiens sapiens (modern human), and Pan Troglodytes (chimpanzee). Suitable for Years 5-8.
New Zealand Manu/Birds
Discover more about our manu/native birds. This kit includes taxidermy birds, birdcall recordings, feathers, eggs, songs, stories and more. Suitable for all year levels.
K Nex
K’Nex sets are loved by all ages and year levels. This kit equips you to run challenges and activities designed to enhance problem solving, mathematical understanding and teamwork skills.
