Module 2 Central Idea
Natural disasters shape the Earth and communities respond to these changes.
In the Primary Years Programme (PYP), a Central Idea is the core of a unit of study. Think of it as a single, powerful statement that acts as a "big idea" that all the learning revolves around. It's a broad, enduring concept that goes beyond just a specific topic, encouraging children to make connections across different subjects.
Module 2 Lines of Inquiry
1. Describe how and why different types of natural disasters affect the Earth
2. Explain how human communities prepare for, and respond to, natural disasters
3. Evaluate how geographical features of a place affect how vulnerable a community is to natural disasters and how it adapts over time
A line of inquiry is a specific focus or a key question that helps guide and structure your child's learning. Think of it as a sub-topic that breaks down a bigger, more complex idea. The lines of inquiry are the different avenues we take to explore the central idea. They help children dig deeper, ask more specific questions, and make connections between different subjects. This approach encourages your child to be an active, curious learner who takes ownership of their education.
