Over the next 10 weeks, we will explore the last 13.7 billion years to understand our place in the universe. In our first session, we will focus on the period from the Big Bang through the beginnings of life on Earth. In the Big History Project (BHP), increasing levels of complexity are known as thresholds. We will cover thresholds 1-5, which include: The Big Bang, Stars and Elements, Our Solar System and Earth, and Life. Big History is a distinctive history course because it aims to tell...

Week 1Lesson 1WelcomeIntroduction and Ice Breakers Class ExpectationsLesson 2Unit 1: What is Big History?Overview of Big History: Introduction to the concept of Big History and its interdisciplinary approach that combines insights from science, history, and other fields to understand the universe's history from the Big Bang to the present.Week 2Lesson 3Big QuestionsThe Big Question: Discussion of the central questions that Big History seeks to answer, such as "How did the universe begin?" and "What is our place in the universe?"Lesson 4Interdisciplinary ApproachInterdisciplinary Approach: How Big History integrates knowledge from various disciplines to provide a comprehensive understanding of historical events.Week 3Lesson 5Unit 2: The Big BangUnderstanding the Big Bang Theory: Detailed examination of the Big Bang theory, including the scientific evidence that supports it, such as cosmic microwave background radiation and the redshift of galaxies.Lesson 6Unit 2: The Big BangInitial Conditions of the Universe: Exploration of the conditions present at the beginning of the universe, including the formation of fundamental particles and forces.Week 4Lesson 7Unit 2: The Big BangExpansion and Cooling: How the universe expanded and cooled over time, leading to the formation of atoms and eventually galaxies and stars.Lesson 8Unit 3: Stars & ElementsFormation of Stars: Understanding how stars form from clouds of gas and dust through the process of gravitational collapse.Week 5Lesson 9Unit 3: Stars & ElementsLifecycle of Stars: Exploring the various stages of a star's life, from birth to death, and the different types of stars (e.g., main-sequence stars, red giants, supernovae).Lesson 10Unit 3: Stars & ElementsNuclear Fusion and Element Creation: Explanation of nuclear fusion processes in stars that create new elements, and how these elements are dispersed throughout the universe. Importance of Elements: Discussion on the significance of these elements for the formation of planets and the potential for life.Week 6Lesson 11Unit 4: Our Solar System & EarthFormation of the Solar System: Overview of how the solar system formed from a rotating disk of gas and dust, including the processes that led to the formation of the sun and planets.Lesson 12Unit 4: Our Solar System & EarthFormation of Earth: Detailed exploration of Earth's formation, its initial molten state, and the subsequent cooling and differentiation into core, mantle, and crust.Week 7Lesson 13Unit 4: Our Solar System & EarthGeological Evolution: Examination of key geological processes that shaped Earth's surface, including plate tectonics, volcanism, and the formation of continents and oceans.Lesson 14Unit 4: Our Solar System & EarthAtmospheric Evolution: Discussion on the development of Earth's atmosphere and the conditions that made it suitable for life, including the role of volcanic outgassing and the Great Oxidation Event.Week 8Lesson 15Unit 5: LifeOrigins of Life: Investigation into the conditions that led to the emergence of life on Earth, including theories about the origin of organic molecules and the first living cells.Lesson 16Unit 5: LifeEarly Life Forms: Exploration of early life forms, including prokaryotes and the development of more complex eukaryotic cells.Week 9Lesson 17Unit 5: LifeEvolutionary Processes: Understanding key evolutionary processes such as natural selection, genetic mutation, and the development of biodiversity.Lesson 18Unit 5: LifeIncreasing Complexity: How life forms evolved from simple single-celled organisms to complex multicellular organisms.Week 10Lesson 19Work DayPeer Reviews: Students provide feedback on each other's projects.Lesson 20Final ProjectsProject Presentations: Students present their projects to the class, explaining their research and findings. Q&A Sessions: Open discussion and questions about the projects and course material.
- Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) HS-ESS1-1: Develop a model based on evidence to illustrate the life span of the sun and the role of nuclear fusion in the sun’s core to release energy in the form of radiation.
- HS-ESS1-2: Construct an explanation of the Big Bang theory based on astronomical evidence of light spectra, motion of distant galaxies, and composition of matter in the universe.
- HS-ESS1-3: Communicate scientific ideas about the way stars, over their life cycle, produce elements.
- HS-ESS1-4: Use mathematical or computational representations to predict the motion of orbiting objects in the solar system.
- HS-ESS2-2: Analyze geoscience data to make the claim that one change to Earth’s surface can create feedbacks that cause changes to other Earth systems.
- HS-LS1-1: Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the structure of DNA determines the structure of proteins which carry out the essential functions of life through systems of specialized cells.
- CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.11-12.1: Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts, attending to important distinctions the author makes and to any gaps or inconsistencies in the account.
- CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.11-12.2: Determine the central ideas or conclusions of a text; summarize complex concepts, processes, or information presented in a text by paraphrasing them in simpler but still accurate terms.
- CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.11-12.7: Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., quantitative data, video, multimedia) to address a question or solve a problem.
- CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.WHST.11-12.9: Draw evidence from informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.

I have worked in education for over 15 years, the last 9 as a homeschool parent. My passion is helping students create a deeper understanding of complex material by examining different perspectives. The stories that are told matter, even more in today's world. Understanding another perspective and story can help us relate. I love sharing new diverse literature that is engaging and expands students' understanding. History can come alive using both novels and primary source materials in my classes. When examining history there are many factors that we will discuss including socioeconomic, religious, bias in narration and understanding who the narrator is. Critical thinking is a skill that all students will work on, while we engage in discussions about the topics covered students will be questioned to consider different perspectives and reasons for events or choices. I started my schooling with a B.B.A. from Northwood University. After several years in the corporate climate I decided to go back to school to get a teaching degree. I attended Eastern Michigan University and finished my classes and testing required for the teaching degree. The semester I was to start student teaching one of my children became seriously ill. Once they were recovered I was starting to homeschool my children and never went back to finish the program. While I have taught at several homeschool groups and co-ops. My experience at the high school has focused on several topics: English, History, Finance, and Engineering. One of the reasons I love teaching Big History Project is that it asks big questions that don't have an answer. The critical thinking skills developed in these classes can be carried over to other aspects of school and life. With my History classes I use a combination of primary sources, articles, reference materials, and videos to teach students. I teach students to evaluate the bias of the author, the purpose of the piece of writing, and who's points of views are put forth. I have taught Howard Zinn's History for Young People, Big History Project, and History through film. I have continued to attend teacher professional developments including: Completed Teaching Big History Certification EdCamp - EMU NerdCamp - Parma NaNoWriMo - Online, and local events Others offered at EMU and MSU
