One of the great things about a Live It Earth program, is that there is no right or wrong way to integrate it into a learning environment. Our blended-learning programs and ready-made teaching resources are designed to be flexible, so they can be used in the classroom or at home.

Eight times a school year, Live It Earth produces an inquiry-based and interactive program that has cross-curricular activities and challenges for students in Grades K to 7.

Each program includes:

• A Feature Show (20 to 35 minutes).

• A live Q+A with experts in the topic of the program.

• A comprehensive teacher resource package filled with challenges and activities for the classroom.

A typical program is experienced in a classroom over a three-week+ period. The schedule can look something like the calendar example below, and is customisable to suit you and your students learning page, style and needs.

First Week

Monday:

• Teachers receive an email notification that the program teacher resources are ready.

• Teachers can get familiar with the latest program, and pick and pull resources to explore with their class.

Tuesday through Friday:

• Print out copies or add the Inquiry Guide to google classroom.

• Watch the program trailer as a class (introduction to the topic).

• Explore the slideshow with students. (This may be done as a class activity or per student depending on the age and technology available in the classroom.)

• Choose from Creative, STEM and Story Challenges to build engagement.

Second Week

Monday:
