“Hi Carmen, I just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you from all of us at Trinity! You were very well prepared and super organised! You pitched the learning exactly right and had a beautiful manner with the kids. They were so engaged and loved every second! We will definitely book again with you in the future!”

"This is the second time this year that we’ve had Carmen from Inquisitive Kids Science come out to our school for an incursion. Both times, she has been well prepared and organised ensuring her lesson runs smoothly. She has an incredible nature with the kids ensuring maximum engagement and participation from all students, trying exceptionally hard to get all students involved. The nature of her activities are relevant, hands on, aligns with the curriculum and most importantly FUN. The kids had an absolute ball as they experimented with making rain, clouds and static electricity to represent lightning to name but a few. Thank you for making the trip a second time to come and visit us and share with us your expertise and fun experiments. The kids and staff LOVED it!"

“We had the pleasure of Carmen and her team teaching our classes about the water cycle and weather. It was so refreshing to have a presenter that was so enthusiastic, the kids were hooked and engaged throughout. We will definitely be having you back for more science incursions. Thank you!”

WARRANWOOD PRIMARY SCHOOL, GRADE 1/2 TEACHER
“The 4-week Little Bang Discovery Club program, experiences, and presenter Carmen were very worth while and educational. Our children were very enthusiastic and continue to discuss the concepts that they learnt during the sessions. This program has built the teachers confidence in implementing science experiences in the classroom. The children have become more aware of ways science is all around us and that testing and trying is how we learn. Our children really enjoyed the hands on aspect of the experience. I would be happy to recommend this program.”

“Thanks Carmen for a wonderful Inquisitive Kids Science incursion. Our 3yr old Kinder Groups were engaged, challenged and inspired by all the hands-on interactive experiences that you provided. The children all said they loved the tornadoes, magnets and screaming balloons, there was something to learn and explore for everyone.”
— Sue Edwards,

"What a relief to have a fresh faced scientist, engaging our year one students about weather and the water cycle! Carmen was truly fantastic! She presented the information using a wide range of materials, hands-on activities and presentations. This completely fostered the learning of the students and promoted deep thinking of the concepts in a fun, safe and positive environment."

“The weather incursion presented by Carmen from Inquisitive Kids was very engaging and exciting. Carmen was very professional and had a real connection with the students. The experiments were age appropriate and inspired curiosity and further wondering. I would highly recommend Inquisitive Kids for any science inquiry unit!”
— Ms Luisa Scarmozzino,
ST MARY'S COPTIC ORTHODOX COLLEGE, FOUNDATION TEACHER
“Carmen made our weather incursion very fun and interactive. She engaged the children in the learning and they took on the role of ‘Scientists’ who experimented with ‘how to make rain’. Their faces lit up with the ‘floating cloud’ and the ‘air filled’ balloon. A worthwhile experience for both the children and the staff. Well done!”

What Parents are saying...
" My son recently participated in a Sound Incursion at his kindergarten lead by Carmen from Inquisitive Kids. I was very impressed with the variety of hands-on activities which really brought the topic to life in a fascinating way! Carmen has a beautiful manner with the children and they immediately warmed to her and were engaged with the topic the whole way through. My son loved the incursion, especially the slinky demonstration of a how sound moves through the air. Thank you Carmen, I hope to see you back at the kinder regularly!"
