This Curiosity Collection extends the Frog Worlds Adaptation and Survival Snapshot by moving to deeper scientific investigation of frogs and their environments.
Learners explore frogs as part of ecosystems, study how scientists investigate animals, examine environmental change, and compare species using data and models.
The collection 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 Pathfinders to engage, create, build, and reflect.
A Curiosity Collection includes multiple Pathfinder activities completed over several sessions.
Each activity introduces new ideas through exploration, investigation, and creative design, leading to a final project where Pathfinders combine what they have learned.
The Collection includes:

Our guided learning journey that moves from curiosity to understanding. Each step
builds naturally, so your child can explore, think, create, and grow at their own pace.
Get orientated and understand the challenge, goals and what you’ll create.
Ask questions, explore different ideas and perspectives and gather inspiration.
Dig deeper into your ideas, test possibilities and build understanding.
Create, make and experiment using the skills and ideas you’ve developed.
Look back on your process and results, celebrate growth and consider what’s next.
Explore legends, creatures, and mythical worlds while building skills
Discover how animals live, adapt, and survive while learning about the natural world.
Use gaming worlds to strengthen problem-solving, digital literacy, and thinking.
Discover the science behind speed while developing skills in physics, measurement, and data.
