The Curiosity Files™: Platypus

Explorations With Professor Ana Lyze—Expert in Outlandish Oddities

A FUN unit study for kids ages 8–13

Want to switch on the excitement mode to science investigations and fun learning? Introduce your child to The Curiosity Files™ and discover some unusually interesting subjects . . . you know, the unfamiliar, zany, and strange things of nature that kids are so attracted to?

Children just love learning about this outlandish creature, and they’ll be more than amused to learn . . . “Everything You Never Wanted to Know About the Platypus”!

Professor Ana Lyze and her research “spy” team specialize in the obscure, the abnormal, and the bizarre. They search land and seas for oddities and make each one a star, such as outlandish insects, rare diseases, unique gems, and more.

With The Curiosity Files™, children will become educated about subjects they’d never find otherwise. Did you know that male platypuses have a venomous spur on their hind feet? Did you know that they hunt for food by using their sense of electroreception?

Platypus will keep your kids occupied and answering questions like these:

  • Why did the first scientists to see a platypus think it was a joke?
  • What is the sense of electroreception, and how does a platypus use it to hunt prey?
  • How does a platypus nurse its young?
  • What is unique about the webbing on a platypus’s feet?
  • What does a platypus eat?
  • And a whole lot more!

With this unit, kids will think creatively and exercise their minds while exploring many interesting and related topics. Kids will encounter The Write Stuff with grammar and writing activities. They’ll use the platypus as a means to study interesting math concepts such as measurement, multiplication, and more! And there are two levels of vocabulary lists and spelling work sheets—elementary and middle/high school.

In the Lab will bring smiles and utilization of knowledge learned. Make a platypus habitat diorama and build an edible neuron model! You’ll find a Good Old Days history lesson along with several research activities plus creative map work. Other hands-on crafts and activities await your child, and with lots of game ideas to choose from, you’ll have the whole family involved, with all the giggles you can imagine!
