Lesson Plan: Make Friends With Idunno
Explore the benefits of admitting when we don’t know something, and discuss the ways that curiosity and an open, inquiring mind can lead to adventures in thinking. Create a visual representation of this in the form of a cartoon critter.

Learn to find the smaller questions that lead into larger, more complex questions. Practice evaluating these questions effectively. Examine the way that asking different kinds of questions improves our overall understanding.
Lesson Plan: I Was Wondering About Curiosity

Complete a brainstorming and questioning activity to guide and practice curiosity about a personally meaningful topic. Set goals for future learning or achievement inspired by curiosity, and create a scrap book to track and document exploration.
