About this video

Professor David Christian talks about Big History, a topic which looks at the whole of time, from the origins of the universe, stars and planets to the the evolution of life and the history of the human beings.

He speaks about how this has been taught in universities but now it is being brought into schools through an international pilot project involving Scottish education.

Read more about the project on Ollie Bray's blog. Ollie is the National Adviser on Emerging Technologies for Education Scotland.
