"Welcome to the Brite Star Time Machine!"
exclaims Professor Jones.
Mia, with wide-eyed wonder, asks, "Can we really travel back in time?" Professor Jones chuckles, "In our imagination, we can!"
The Colosseum of Rome looms large.
"This was a center of entertainment and power in the Roman Empire," observes Professor Jones. Noah wonders, "Did gladiators really fight here?" Professor Jones notes, "Yes, it was a part of their culture, though quite different from our values today."
"The
Renaissance was a rebirth of art and science," says Professor Jones, as they witness artists and inventors at work. Sofia asks, "Who were the famous people from this time?" He replies,
"Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, among others, who were multi-talented geniuses."
Returning to the present day in Brite Star, Professor Jones reflects, "History teaches us about our achievements and our mistakes." Noah ponders, "What can we learn from history?" Professor Jones states, "To build a better, more understanding, and peaceful world."
The children of Brite Star discuss their favorite historical periods, dreaming of what they can achieve in their own lives. "Understanding our past helps us shape our future," muses Professor Jones.

1. How did the pyramids of Egypt reflect their civilization?
2. What was the significance of the Colosseum in Ancient Rome?
3. How did the Renaissance contribute to art and science?
4. What major changes came with the Industrial Revolution?
5. How can we use our understanding of history to shape a better future?
