Transdisciplinary Lesson Plan

TRANSDISCIPLINARY LESSON PLAN FOR A PYP CLASSROOM
This ready-to-use resource supports a concept-driven inquiry into biodiversity within the Sharing the Planet unit. Designed for PYP classrooms, it integrates Unit of Inquiry, Language, and Art into one meaningful learning experience.

Students engage with a powerful provocation, explore key conceptual questions, and develop their own lines of inquiry using the 4N’s Inquiry Routine (Notice, Nudge, Need to Know, Navigate). The learning is then extended through written expression, visual representation, and reflection.

This resource includes:

A structured lesson sequence (tuning in → inquiry → reflection)
Visual provocation prompts
The 4N’s Inquiry Routine (student-friendly graphic organizer)
An exit ticket to capture understanding and next steps
