Timelines are important tools for exploring a brief period of time or a topic that spans centuries. By exploring and creating timelines, students will learn the chronology of historical events and begin to see the cause-and-effect relationships between time periods. On this list, there are interactive timelines students can explore covering everything from art history to the American Revolution and the concept of freedom in the United States. There are also apps and websites that make timeline creation easy, allowing students to sequence events into explorable multimedia stories.
