Who are your family and friends? Where can we see colors? How can we make music?

Oxford Discover 2nd edition uses Big Questions such as these to tap into children's natural curiosity. It enables them to ask their own questions, find their own answers, and explore the world around them.

Each unit ends with a project lesson based around the 'big question' that is asked at the beginning of the lesson. These projects encourage creativity and critical thinking and can be used in the classroom but could also be completed at home.
