Historical Research Part 1
Historical research involves testing the accuracy of past observations and reports. It aims to place events in sequence, understand surrounding activities, preserve information, answer why things happened, make information public, and inform the present. Researchers define problems, collect primary and secondary sources, evaluate sources, form hypotheses, and report interpretations. Primary sources are eyewitness accounts and original objects, while secondary sources are copies or secondhand information. Researchers use external and internal criticism to validate sources by examining language, author knowledge, and intended meanings. Historical research allows investigation of topics not possible through other methods, but the researcher cannot control for validity threats or ensure representative samples.

Science Research: Historical Research
Historical research examines past events to create an account of what happened. It can uncover unknown details, answer questions, and help understand how the past relates to present cultures and events. Researchers use primary sources like documents, records, artifacts, and interviews that were created during the time being studied, as well as secondary sources that analyze primary sources. They determine if sources are authentic and accurately portray events by corroborating claims across sources, identifying source details, and analyzing context. This process of negative criticism establishes reliability and helps interpret what sources convey about the past.

Case studies involve an in-depth analysis of a bounded system, such as an individual, group, or event. They provide a rich, descriptive account of the phenomenon being studied to illuminate the reader's understanding. Case studies are useful when examining specific "how" and "why" questions about events over which the researcher has little control. While they provide a concrete and contextual understanding, case studies are difficult to generalize and are time-consuming.
Tackling historiography through local p1
This document outlines an Australian history course that teaches historiography through local case studies. The course aims to help students understand how history is produced and apply historical inquiry skills. It covers key historiographical concepts and debates. Students examine a local historical topic in-depth and conduct an independent history project involving research, analysis and presentation of findings. The project is assessed based on a synopsis, essay, bibliography, proposal and process log.

PC Lecture 9-.pdf
The document discusses the writing process, from pre-writing to outlining. It emphasizes that writing is a process of learning and discovery. The pre-writing stage involves brainstorming and selecting a topic, then narrowing it. Students should ask practical questions to define the scope. Research questions should go beyond simple factual inquiries to "how" and "why." The thesis statement is the central argument to be supported. An outline organizes the paper into an introduction, body, and conclusion. Research must be done carefully using valid, credible sources.

Research skills complete booklet 08 nov2011
This document provides guidance for teachers on developing students' research skills in history classes at junior cycle, transition year, and leaving certificate levels in Ireland. It outlines the research study component of the leaving certificate history syllabus and provides suggestions for teachers on helping students improve their skills at each stage. This includes locating and critically examining sources, developing structured written responses, and preparing for the leaving certificate research study requirements of producing an outline plan, evaluating sources, and extended essay. Sample exemplar materials and marking schemes are also included for reference.
Water
Water comes from rainfall and is treated through processes like settling, filtering, softening, chlorination and fluoridation before being piped into homes. The water supply enters homes through main pipes and service pipes, with the freshest water coming from the cold kitchen tap. Other taps get water from a storage tank, usually in the attic. Hard water can cause issues like limescale but tastes better, and is softened through adding chloride of lime during treatment.
The work triangle
The document discusses the concept of the work triangle. The work triangle refers to the three key elements needed to complete any task: tools, materials, and people. These three elements must be present and work together effectively for a job to be finished successfully.
Safety in the home
This document discusses home safety and common accidents that occur in the home. It provides information on preventing accidents such as falls, burns, cuts and poisonings. Safety tips are provided for fire safety, medicine storage, and first aid treatment for minor injuries. The most important aspects of first aid for serious injuries are also outlined, such as calling for help, checking breathing and pulse, and treating for shock. A well-stocked first aid kit is recommended.
Modern features of a cooker
This document describes various features that may be included in kitchen appliances such as cookers and ovens, including dual grill/rings that allow using half the cooking area, double ovens with a main oven and top oven, automatic timers to turn ovens on and off, fan ovens that circulate heated air, ceramic hobs with heat-resistant glass tops, halogen rings that heat instantly, self-cleaning ovens, split-level cookers where the hob and oven are separate, and ignition buttons to light gas hobs instead of matches.
Lighting
Good lighting is important for safety, hygiene, and preventing eye strain. A home uses both natural lighting from windows and skylights as well as various artificial lighting such as incandescent, fluorescent, and compact fluorescent bulbs. Proper lighting safety involves using the correct bulbs and fixtures, adequate lighting for tasks, and switches located outside of danger areas like bathrooms. When replacing a light bulb, one should turn off the power first, allow an old bulb to cool, fit a new bulb of the correct wattage, and test that the light works.
Hygiene in the home
The document discusses hygiene standards in the home, including ensuring clean water and efficient drainage, good ventilation and lighting to prevent dampness, easily cleanable surfaces and rooms, careful waste disposal, and regularly disinfecting sinks, toilets and drains. It also notes there are two types of household waste - organic waste that breaks down naturally and inorganic waste that does not break down but can be recycled.
Heating
Central heating, partial/background heating, and individual heaters are three common methods of heating a home. Central heating uses a boiler to heat water that circulates through radiators to keep the home between 16-20 degrees Celsius, and also provides hot water. Partial/background heating uses electric storage heaters to provide gentle background heat. Individual heaters heat each room separately using methods like a fireplace, stove, or electric heater. Proper insulation is important to prevent up to 75% of heat loss through walls, roof, windows, doors and floors using materials like still air, wool, or polystyrene that are poor conductors of heat.
Electricity 2
Electricity is generated at power stations from sources like coal, oil, peat, and water. It is distributed to homes through cables and consumer units, then brought to appliances via wires in plugs and flexes. Most appliances have three wires - a live wire (brown) bringing electricity to the appliance, a neutral wire (blue) taking the return current, and an earth wire (green/yellow) that brings current safely to the earth if a fault occurs. Fuses and circuit breakers are safety devices that melt or disconnect electricity in the case of overloading or short circuits to prevent fires.
Designing a home
This document discusses key aspects of home design, including:
1. A home provides physical needs like shelter as well as emotional and social needs.
2. Housing types are influenced by factors like cost, size, and location, and include houses, apartments, bedsits, and mobile homes.
3. Good design is functional, safe, durable, and attractive. Design elements include color, texture, line, shape, and pattern which impact the atmosphere.
Design process 2
The design process involves 7 steps: 1) Identifying the brief to design a bedroom/study for a teenager, 2) Analyzing the brief to determine what must be included, 3) Researching interior design ideas through books, magazines, and store visits to collect samples, 4) Identifying possible furniture layouts, color schemes, and flooring and heating options, 5) Choosing a final solution after considering all options, 6) Creating a scaled floor plan drawing, and 7) Presenting the final plan with details of the color scheme, furnishings, flooring, lighting, and heating system.
Design process 1
The design process involves identifying the brief, analysing it through research, and choosing a solution to implement through planning and taking action.
Fruit
This document contains a word search, matching exercises, fill-in-the-blank questions, and true/false questions about various fruits including apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, peaches, kiwis, pineapples, plums, pomegranates, lemons, strawberries, nectarines, and berries. The questions test identification, properties, and grouping of different fruits.
Milk
The document is a worksheet asking students to name animals that produce milk, types of milk, uses of milk and their examples, and to outline the pasteurization process, nutritional value, and homogenization of milk. The student must name cows, goats, sheep, and humans as milk producing animals and list six types of milk, four uses of milk with examples, and describe homogenization. It also asks the student to discuss why milk is good for teeth and the nutritional value of milk.
Skin poster guidelines
The document provides guidelines for using a skin poster to teach students about the structure and composition of skin. The poster will be used to help students identify and label the different components of skin, as well as define the functions of each component. The teacher is instructed to introduce the topic enthusiastically, point out each skin component on the poster and explain its function. Labels will then be placed over the components for students to identify, after which the teacher will check students' understanding by asking questions about the skin's structure.
The skin
This document contains questions about the structure and functions of skin. It tests knowledge about skin layers like the epidermis and dermis, parts like sweat glands, hair follicles and pores, and how diet and sun exposure impact skin health. Multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions cover topics like what foods are good or bad for skin, the role of sweat glands, and describing skin layers, cells, and other anatomical features.
