You can send your students the link to a page, and have them work through the unit individually/in pairs or in groups.
Have the students present their work/opinions/create a game for the class/teach a new piece of information on the topic as a final unit task.
Since the units are digital, this is a great way to incorporate learning about our planet into your blended learning curriculum.
