    Toko School students discuss their favourite parts of a distilling project and how it has shaped their personal views of science.

    Transcript

    STUDENT ONE

    I think the best part about the project was getting all the stuff and unboxing it and putting all the distillers together.

    STUDENT TWO

    My favourite part was when we were planting a hundred lavenders into the orchard.

    STUDENT THREE

    My favourite part was how we’ve been making essential oils.

    STUDENT FOUR

    When we went to Pihama Lavender Farm and started our journey.

    STUDENT FIVE

    We had the opportunity to go and ask Curious Minds if we could borrow some money.

    STUDENT FOUR

    We went to Puke Ariki to share our distilling presentation.

    STUDENT FIVE

    We have distilled Japanese cedar.

    STUDENT THREE

    Kawakawa, rosemary, lavender.

    STUDENT FOUR

    Mint.

    STUDENTS FOUR AND FIVE

    Lemon.

    STUDENT ONE

    My favourite would probably be lemon – no, Japanese cedar.

    STUDENT SIX

    Rosemary.

    STUDENT TWO

    Japanese cedar.

    STUDENT THREE

    We use Japanese cedar for the toilet spray.

    STUDENT FOUR

    We use mint and rosemary to put on your roasts.

    STUDENT FIVE

    And you can use mint to spray on you to keep you cool.

    STUDENT THREE

    And we use pine for – like if you’ve got fake Christmas trees, you can spray the pine and it smells like a real Christmas tree.

    STUDENT SIX

    Some hydrosols don’t actually smell that good, and one time we were distilling kawakawa and it smelled like rotten cabbage.

    STUDENT ONE

    But we waited for 2 weeks and it smelt a lot better.

    STUDENT SIX

    I consider myself a scientist.

    STUDENT FIVE

    I do consider myself to be a scientist.

    STUDENT THREE

    I consider myself to be a scientist.

    STUDENT TWO

    I consider myself as a scientist.

    STUDENT ONE

    I consider myself a scientist.

    STUDENT FOUR

    So do I.
