Ask the big questions about our Universe, our planet, life, and humanity. Explore 13.8 billion years of the past, but don’t stop there. How does Big History help us understand our present and inform our future?

Before we really dive into the core concepts of Big History, it’s important to first get an overview of what Big History is and what students can expect from the course. It’s also an opportunity to get familiar with the Big History website. This first lesson of the Big History course is our chance to show students how personal and relevant history can be.
