Learning to Understand Needs and Abilities
15-18 years
Welcome to our online learning page for 15-18 year olds! ! We have created several activities that you can complete at home. We have tried to make sure there is something for everyone - whether your interests are science or social justice, you should find an activity you enjoy! We also know that everyone likes learning and taking in information in different ways, so for each task the instructions can be found in plain text form, PowerPoint form, and video form.

Please let us know how you get on and what you think of the resources - we love hearing from you! Send us your work on our email address thelunaprojectuk@gmail.com - we may even ask to publish it on our website!
