K'NEXT Generation Lockdown Lessons are designed to support and complement
the Curriculum for Excellence (CfE)
The cross-curricular Lessons provide opportunities to explore principles and concepts in the following STEAM subjects: Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (including Numeracy)
Lesson content is designed and built around the Experiences & Outcomes
and the Benchmarks of CfE at First and Second levels (see table below).
The Lessons employ hands-on, challenge-based, active learning which provides opportunities for children to develop their resilience and creativity and their problem-solving skills
The Lessons all use K'NEX or KAPLA but alternative equipment can be used instead,
each Lesson describes/provides suitable substitutes
K'NEXT Generation aims to provide Lessons that are fun and challenging
and that help to develop skills for life
