This resource outlines 'Project Chronos', a comprehensive educational project designed to engage students in the philosophical and ethical exploration of time and time travel. The project is structured in several phases: Phase 1 introduces students to concepts like Eternalism and Presentism.

Phase 3 focuses on the ethical considerations of temporal interference, urging students to ponder their responsibilities in changing past events. Finally, Phase 4 sees students apply their philosophical and ethical insights to engineer a conceptual time travel vehicle, culminating in the design and blueprinting of their creations. The document also includes differentiated instruction strategies, a project mastery rubric, and various thinking routines to deepen students' understanding.
