Cludd Kit

Return to Curriculum Events

Science Equipment Kit for Primary Schools

One of 2 possibilities for developing the "Cludd Kit"...

  1. Prepared kit: Each partner school purchases a kit in one of the topic areas (physical sciences, chemical sciences etc) and another kit from a different topic area term 1 next year.
  2. "Cleared" kit: Each partner school purchases their own items according to their own needs. Another $500 worth of equipment is purchased next year.

NOTE: The kits will generally contain materials that are specifically science based. General Science material that can be purchased from shops or brought from home ARE listed here but will not be part of the kits. The kits will be organised into the following holding tubs...
