Example output
A real run (a unit under How the World Works · Grade 3):
Answer: To plan a Grade 3 unit of inquiry under the transdisciplinary theme "How the World Works", begin by selecting a conceptually rich central idea. Central Idea: The properties of materials determine how they behave, change, and can be used to meet needs in the world. This central idea drives inquiry into the natural and physical world while connecting to human choices. Supporting lines of inquiry: the observable and measurable properties of different materials (form); how materials can be changed through physical and chemical processes (change); how people select and use materials to solve problems and the consequences of those choices (function and responsibility). Provocations might include a "mystery material" station where students explore everyday objects with magnifiers… PYP Alignment & Rationale: nurtures the learner-profile attributes inquirer, thinker and knowledgeable, and promotes student agency by positioning learners as question-askers from the start…
