Abstract
From the Big Bang to the recent development of human civilization, we are exploring the future and examining the past. Big History includes knowledge about the universe and the composition of the chemical elements, which represent the macrocosm and microcosm for the whole picture. In the frame of Big History, we connect everything that seems irrelevant to the relevant, bringing it all together. At Mingdao High School, we focus on multi-performance and development, so we introduced a big-history course to our tenth-grade students. Instead of accepting knowledge passively in a classroom, we train them by cultivating their concept-creative ability and problem-solving skills. For such a course, it represents an unprecedented step forward in their lives.
