The First Great Lesson in Elementary, known as "The Story of the Universe," introduces students to the origins of the cosmos (space, time, matter, and energy), igniting their imaginations and curiosity.
A staple in the curriculum, this lesson is anticipated by students each year, regardless of their age, as it sets the stage for a deeper understanding of the world around them. Through storytelling and hands-on experiments, students explore the vastness of space and the formation of our planet. This lesson, along with the other four Great Lessons—"The Coming of Life," "The Coming of Humans," "The Story of Writing," and "The Story of Numbers"—sparks countless questions and curiosity that fuels students' exploration of science, history, and more!
