The THRIVE ($64) and SURVIVE ($36) kits aim to inculcate the spirit of scientific inquiry, grounded in knowledge, issues and questions that relate to the roles played by science in daily life, society and the environment.
The hands-on activities challenge the students’ investigative and exploration skills, and seek to fuel their spirit of curiosity for their environment, and empower them to lead a sustainable lifestyle.
