Toilets Around the World (Family: High Cognitive)

Toilets Around the World is the kind of lesson students never forget—because it takes an everyday topic they think they already understand and transforms it into a fascinating global adventure. This lesson explores how different cultures, countries, and communities solve the same basic human need in wildly different ways, turning bathrooms into windows into technology, history, wealth, hygiene, sustainability, and social priorities. From $10,000 robotic Japanese toilets to Europe’s classic bidets, Africa and Asia’s squat toilets, India’s massive sanitation mission, eco-friendly Nordic composting systems, and China’s futuristic public restrooms, this lesson brings the world straight into the classroom in the most surprising, engaging way possible.
 
This lesson is designed for High Cognitive Champs (ages 8ish and up). It offers fun yet stimulating content, background knowledge questions, 3-Board AND 26 board Orange Questions, advanced math problems, one-word answer pink questions,  and broad pink questions. Ideal for encouraging deep discussions, critical thinking, and spelling skills while learning about a fascinating topic.
