Certain units of inquiry are ubiquitous across school POIs. These units, tried and tested, have deep connections to the transdisciplinary theme and are relevant across cultures and contexts. At Toddle, we believe in the power of sharing ideas and best practices. Join us as we deep dive into the units we all know and love and explore strategies for effectively thinking about and planning these units. 

In this idea bank, we will explore a sharing the planet unit – living things, habitats and biomes.

This unit encourages students to reflect on their role as global citizens and helps them become caring,  responsible individuals. Created by Maggie Hos-McGrane, this idea bank is sure to become your go-to partner in planning a unit on living things, habitats and biomes.
