It offers a structured but adaptable resource that helps learners explore what makes Earth so special. The plan includes discussion points, creative tasks, comprehension questions, and deeper thinking prompts — giving you plenty of ways to approach this fascinating topic.

This lesson plan is a starting point, not a set of rules. One of the best parts of home education is the freedom to follow your child’s curiosity.
