Each section has a range of starting ideas with them. These include online interactive activities, Mindmaps, printables, banner as well as a full range of internet links for further resources. They are designed to give the "Big Picture" from which pupils or teachers can investigate specifics. For a unit like this TIME is important. It can have so much curriculum coverage that you can spend many weeks on it! Pupils could research an area of interest to report back on. Take them through the learning/information process, and open them up to life-long learner skills and other essential skills in the unit through matching ideas to the curriculum areas.

You can also get pupils to either work in areas that suit their "multiple intelligence" or "learning style" by selecting the appropriate activity. Remember, though that it is important for pupils to be exposed to a number of learning styles/ intelligences.

Keep in mind that these are integrated resources, always look for the connections, the sense of wonder, and let them get thinking!
