Events in Order

A timeline is a line that holds events in the order they really happened. The oldest thing goes first, and each newer thing goes after it, further along the line.

This picture is part of the full library

Every lesson is open to everyone for 7 days after it is published. This one came out on September 4, 2026: its text stays readable here, and its picture opens with a subscription.

The app is free. A subscription opens every lesson, in every school year.

Age 8: open this week

Examples

Photos of you as a baby, then at four, then now, laid out in a row.
Getting ready in the morning, waking up first, then dressing, then breakfast.

Key takeaways

A timeline shows what happened first and what happened later.
Events on a timeline always move in one direction, from older to newer.
