Content Descriptor Number
Inspired by AC9HS4S02 of the Australian Curriculum Version 9.0, material in this section may help your child locate, collect and record information and data from a range of sources, including annotated timelines and maps. It may also help further understanding in:
- identifying the types of sources suited to historical, geographical, civic inquiry contexts (for example, paintings, maps and written records/accounts to investigate the First Fleet or a local environment; newspaper articles and database information to investigate the cultural diversity of the local community or to respond to a civic or geographic issue such as recycling; traditional ballads and stories to investigate historical events or cultural groups in the community) and discussing why particular sources might be suitable for a particular context (AC9HS4S02_E1)
- brainstorming ways that information might be collected for an inquiry, such as surveys, interviews and tallying, and choosing, with teacher guidance, the most effective sources of data; for example, the internet, thematic maps, photographs, satellite imagery, field data collection, interviewing members of local government (AC9HS4S02_E2)
- exploring stories about the groups people belong to; for example, cultural groups such as groups that value First Nations Australian or Asian heritage; interest and community groups such as recreational and volunteering organisations; and gender or religious groups (AC9HS4S02_E3)
- using graphic organisers, timelines, maps, graphs or tables to display data and information (for example, a food web; consequence wheels for an issue; creating a timeline related to the First Fleet; mapping locations of different types of vegetation, the loss of native species, the movement of peoples over time, or social, cultural and religious groups in Australia’s society) and using digital applications as appropriate (AC9HS4S02_E4)
