BIG HIstory project
For this mini-project, students collaborated on a variety of final products focused around a central topic on the History of Science.
The driving question in this project was, "Where did we come from?". Students learned about different answers to the origins of the universe by exploring a variety of creation myths from different cultures, as well as examining how modern scientific consensus grew out of the work of early astronomers ranging from Ptolemy to Kepler, Copernicus, and Newton, and then learning about today's theories. Students also examined how biological life arose on planet earth and examined the scientific and social history of Darwin's theory of Natural Selection.
