The Switch links well with the film 'Dangle' and opens up discussions around curiosity and risk-taking.

Use the saying “Curiosity killed the cat” as a discussion point. Why do people say this? Is curiosity always dangerous, or can it lead to discovery and learning? Why is it important for living things – including people – to be curious? Does it always benefit them?

Ask: Who are the other boxes? What might they represent?

Further Discussion and Cross-Curricular Links:

• Link to the topic of explorers – consider how they faced the unknown, such as crossing seas when people believed the Earth was flat.
• Debate whether taking risks is always good – when should we follow our curiosity, and when should we be cautious?
• Explore the idea of cause and effect – what small action leads to a bigger consequence in this animation?
