Timeline of Ancient Civilizations Research Questions

The perfect companion to your Timeline of Ancient Civilizations. This set of interactive research questions are designed to guide students through a process of discovery and growth. Discover videos, and links that will expand their knowledge and understanding.


Designed to accommodate multiple modes of learning, children begin with the exploration of “Fact” questions which aim to build knowledge.


The next step creates a bridge between the past and the present by offering activities and research ideas that link the past with our current ideas in government, finance, and life.


Finally, to round off this material, students are offered a third set of questions, aimed at specifically analyzing and interpreting facts, ideas, actions and relationships. Here students develop a deeper understanding of cause and effect. Each card offers projects that deal with big ideas. Students are allowed to pick a project and by drawing from their previously acquired knowledge they bring together the facts that will allow them to present their findings and opinions in a meaningful manner to the rest of their classmates.


This set includes the following:

51 Fact questions

12 Linking the Past with the Present explorations

22 Analysis & Interpretations explorations

21 Project activities
