Teaching the Water Cycle in Year 2 can be so boring. Cloud types, weather patterns, measuring rainfall - it's easy for kids to zone out.

The Curiosity Toolkit, is the exact system that I've used to plan integrated units. Instead of making cotton wool clouds and just filling in a water cycle diagram, we started with a question. "Is the water we drink today the same water the dinosaurs drank?"

This sparked an investigation into biome experiments, why rivers are brown and not blue, water conservation, water pollution and of course hands-on demonstrations of their knowledge by building models, dioramas and ecosystems in bottles! 

We measured rain, recited poems, read stories and were able to demonstrate using loose parts how water got to our homes!

Same content. Same curriculum standards. But instead of glazed eyes, children were coming in early to check their weather measurements.

And the best part?

I didn't have to create anything from scratch - I just learned to ask better questions and think holistically across the curriculum instead of the usual planning in silo approach.

Your students are curious about everything outside your classroom -  video games, what their friends are doing, why the sky is blue, how rainbows are formed.

Curious kids have become bored in environments that no longer stimulate them... for lots of reasons.

You became a teacher to make a difference, to see that spark of understanding in their eyes.

This toolkit gives you the framework to make that happen consistently, even on days when you don't feel up to it.

​The difference between a classroom where learning feels like work and one where learning feels like discovery.

It starts with the questions you ask.
