Introduction
All the activities proposed in this Scratch Tactile teaching unit are born from the magic of the story "The Planet of Fire" written by Martí Olivella. A book full of reality and metaphors that, although it seems to be written for children, makes both the youngest and the oldest reflection.
Reading 'The Planet of Fire' makes us reflect, challenges us, and invites us to ask ourselves questions in depth.
The union of conscious reading, the inclusive approach, computational thinking, and the SDGs (UN Sustainable Development Goals) recommended with Scratch Tactile is a multidisciplinary proposal that can be easily incorporated into the educational practice of schools, institutes, and other environments. It is aligned with the vectors suggested in the new educational curriculum.
This proposal will allow students not only to develop academic skills necessary to navigate in today's world, but will also help generate a culture of peace, solidarity, empathy, and respect for others and the environment.
This Teaching Unit addresses the following SDGs:
Planet:
SDG 13: Climate action
SDG 15: Life on land
SDG 16: Peace, justice and strong institutions
SDG 17: Partnership for the Goals

Teaching unit 1:
The Red Planet
Goals
This unit opens up numerous topics for debate that will allow students to reflect on the consequences that burning forests would have on people, animals and the planet, the benefits of the terrestrial ecosystem and the importance of keeping forests alive and healthy.
On the other hand, the first concepts of computational thinking such as algorithms, patterns, sequence, etc. are introduced, and creativity is encouraged by proposing the creation of activities with recyclable material.
Recommended ages: From 4 years old
Approximate time: 90 - 120 min
Teaching unit 2:
The Blue Planet
Goals
This unit allows students to reflect on the consequences of war and violence, human migration and refugees, the importance of dialogue and respect in resolving conflicts, and the wonderful work for peace carried out by multiple organizations and millions of anonymous people, large and small, around the world.
On the other hand, the first concepts of computational thinking such as algorithms, patterns, sequence, etc. are introduced, and creativity is encouraged by proposing the creation of activities with recyclable material.
Recommended ages: From 7 years old
Approximate time: 90 - 120 min
Teaching unit 3:
The planet of fire in 3D
Goals
This unit opens up numerous topics for debate that will allow students to reflect on the importance of preserving terrestrial ecosystems, non-violent actions, the consequences of war, working for peace and how to contribute from our environment to meet the objectives of sustainable development.
On the other hand, the first concepts of 3D design and printing are introduced with tinkercad.
Recommended ages: From 10 years old
Approximate time: 90 - 120 min
