Big History Project

The Big History Project is a free, open, online social studies curriculum designed for secondary schools (students aged 14+). 
 
Big history weaves 13.7 billion years of evidence and insights from science and history into a single, cohesive story. The Big History Project asks the big questions about our Universe, our planet, life, and humanity. Students can consider our future path and be challenged to develop the skills and knowledge they will need.
