This Curiosity Snapshot provides a cross-curriculum introduction to unicorns and pegasi through science, creativity, storytelling, and inquiry.
Learners explore how mythical creatures are inspired by real animals and environments while developing skills in observation, imagination, questioning and creative communication.
The snapshot is designed using inclusive learning principles, supporting diverse learning needs through self-paced exploration, clear instructions, flexible activity options, visual supports, and multiple ways for learners to engage, create, and reflect.
A Curiosity Snapshot is a single learning experience within the larger Curiosity Collection. Each snapshot introduces a topic through exploration, creative activities, and reflection.
The program includes:
Each Curiosity Snapshot takes learners on a Wonder Learning Journey.
