A free Grade 6 Project-Based Learning Discovery Lab

Eco-Base introduces learners to the PPL Learning Lab approach — where students observe real-world challenges, explore evidence, design solutions, and build understanding through meaningful projects.

In this Learning Lab, learners investigate sustainable design and create evidence-based solutions while developing skills in research, planning, problem-solving, communication, and reflection.

What learners do:

• Investigate a real-world design challenge

• Explore sustainability and evidence-based decision-making

• Plan and develop their own ideas

• Create and explain a final design solution

• Reflect on their learning journey

Included:

✓ Interactive online Learning Lab

✓ Student Workbook PDF

✓ Parent Overview Guide

✓ Materials Checklist

✓ Facilitator Guide

✓ Project Rubric

Designed for:

• Homeschool families

• Parents supporting independent learning

• Tutors

• Aftercare and learning centres

• Schools seeking project-based enrichment

Primary Project Labs creates structured Project-Based Learning Designs for Grades 4–7.

Observe. Explore. Build.

Extreme Weather is a Grade 6 project-based learning mission where learners turn weather evidence into an emergency-response plan that protects people and place. Over six short sessions (about 35 minutes, one a day, with the final build over the weekend), learners check weather evidence for reliability, work through risk and supply maths, fair-test protective materials, choose and defend the most at-risk location, write an emergency brief, then design, build and present a weather-response plan.

Get the Extreme Weather Lab and watch one structured week turn reading, maths, science and risk thinking into one defensible plan.

Not an activity pack, worksheet bundle, game, school replacement or full curriculum.

Included: Interactive Learning Lab (autosave, works on any modern browser), Student Workbook PDF, Facilitator Answer Guide, Parent Overview, Materials Checklist, Project Rubric, and Weekly Evidence Report and Portfolio Checklist (built into the Lab).

For homeschool families, tutors, learning and cottage centres, aftercare programmes, and schools.
