Timeline for Where We are in Space and Time IB Unit

Some of you have asked me for the project books I showed in class and I'm posting them here for you to peruse or take a look at. You can decide to do a timeline based on one of the models from the book or you may choose to do a Travel Back in Time pamphlet. See directions for both below. Resource Booklets:

Four of the entries (could be more) must be based on explores that made a major contribution to space discoveries and explorations.
