Eco-Base
How can four scientists live and work beside a wild river without harming it? Study the place, test a material, then build and improve a model base.
About this Lab →Tailor-Made
Tailor-Made Learning
Learning designs shaped around your learners, curriculum and timetable. For schools, families and education organisations.
Custom Designed Projects
How we work
A mixed-grade group, a specific theme or a different curriculum: we start with what you need. Together, we agree the scope before design begins.
- 01
Enquire
Tell us who you are, what setting you work in, and what you need the learning design to do.
- 02
Scope
We map your calendar, learner group and priorities against the PPL Engine's 19 capabilities and the CAPS topics they connect to.
- 03
Design
We design a Learning Lab to that scope, using the same structure and rigour as every Primary Project Labs design.
- Independent and alternative schools with a non-standard calendar
- Aftercare and learning support centres running mixed-grade groups
- Tutors and education entrepreneurs building a branded offer
- Homeschool centres wanting a term built around a specific theme
Tailor-Made work is scoped directly with PPL. The five ready-made Discovery Labs are available separately below.
Stand-alone Projects
Five Discovery Labs
Each Discovery Lab is a complete ten-session project for learners aged 9–13, on its own and independent of any grade. Choose the printable PDF pack, the interactive online Portal, or both together.
Extreme Weather
How can weather facts protect the people most at risk in a storm? Help the imagined town of Riverside prepare, then engineer a flood-protection model.
About this Lab →Future City
How do you design a district that works for the people a city usually forgets? Follow one person’s journey, test a paper bridge and present to the council.
About this Lab →Oceans & Tides
Why does the sea move, and how do you build a walkway on a changing shore? Read a tide table, test at three water levels and protect the rock-pool creatures.
About this Lab →Space Colony
How do you keep people alive where help cannot come quickly? Plan life support for a colony of 100, test a way to get water back, then build a model.
