| A unit studies approach integrates core subjects while focusing on a central theme. Unit study themes are particularly useful for teaching multiple children of differing ages, varying assignments to suit their abilities. Children immerse themselves in the particular topic. For example, a unit study on the moon might focus on the space program (social studies), the tides, astronomy, physics (science), calculation of distances, weights and mass (math), the moon as a romantic icon (literature and music), keeping a moon journal (writing) etc. |
