Planet Protectors HQ
Is your child ready to take on their biggest mission yet - protecting the planet?
Planet Protectors HQ is more than just a science project. It’s a fully planned, curriculum-aligned learning adventure where kids step into the role of eco-heroes, designing and leading their own missions to care for the Earth.
About this Project
Planet Protectors HQ is an 8-week project where your learner becomes an eco-hero on a mission to care for the planet. Each week, they’ll receive a new “brief” from HQ, - inviting them to investigate, create, design, and take action on real-world environmental issues.
Instead of filling out worksheets, learners dive into open-ended, hands-on activities: keeping a nature journal, designing eco-friendly inventions, running experiments, mapping their local environment, or even creating their own community awareness campaigns. The project is deliberately flexible, giving children space to follow their own interests while still covering core learning outcomes.
How it works:
Every week begins with a mission briefing to spark curiosity and set the theme.
Learners then choose from a menu of activities that can be scaled up or down depending on their energy and focus.
Parents follow the step-by-step guidance in the Parent Pack, with clear suggestions for support, optional extensions, and neuro-affirming adjustments.
Work samples are built naturally along the way, so by the end you have a portfolio of evidence ready for homeschool reporting.
This project is designed to reduce your workload and stress as a homeschooling parent. All the heavy lifting - curriculum mapping, weekly planning, outcome alignment, and reporting templates - is already done for you. Your role is to guide your child’s journey and celebrate the discoveries they make.
By the end of Planet Protectors HQ, your learner will have:
A deeper understanding of how ecosystems work and why sustainability matters.
Confidence in their ability to take action and make a difference.
A portfolio of creative, cross-curricular work (science investigations, written reflections, maths activities, visual projects) ready for homeschool records.
Pride in their identity as a Planet Protector.
