DIGITAL DOWNLOAD: you receive a printable US Letter PDF to print at home or school. No physical book is shipped.

This booklet moves a class from prehistoric survival skills through Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome into the Middle Ages and modern science, and a teacher gets the full timeline ready with no outside research needed. Real people and real discoveries anchor each stage, so students see scientific thinking build up gradually across thousands of years instead of appearing overnight. A question on how the ancient Greeks worked out the Earth was round, and another on what science looked like in the Middle Ages, keep the history grounded in genuine puzzles. A free video from Brenda Hayles links from every one of the six sections. Color photos and diagrams from each era carry the text, and the back page explains historical and scientific terms side by side.

Inside:

• Six sections spanning six periods of history
• A linked video for each historical period
• Color photos and diagrams drawn from each era
• A glossary pairing historical and scientific terms
