HIF10/20 Individual and Family Living Social Science Research Teaching/Learning Strategies Included on the following pages are a series of activities for HIF10/20 that could be used by teachers to address the Social Science Skills strand of the course. Some of these activities are fully developed and others are in outline form only and will need to be expanded prior to use. Much of the instruction in this area will need to be teacher directed, as these skills are often new to students. Research skills should not be taught in isolation but rather become the tool to address the other expectations within the course. Students will begin to develop these skills in order to build the foundation for future skill development in the senior grades. Additional support materials on the use of social science research skills in Family Studies courses can be found in “Social Science Research Skills in the Family Studies Classroom Overview.” The materials created in this documents rely heavily on the use of computer technology to communicate the results of their research. The teacher could easily adapt them all if access to computer technology is limited. Teachers must follow school and board policies abut the safe and ethical use of the Internet. They must inform their students about these policies. All web sites identified in this documents were current at the time of publication. Given the frequency with which these designations change, teachers should always verify the websites prior to assigning them for student use. Primary research forms a significant component of these materials. Students must be instructed in the proper and ethical research techniques. When students are conducting primary research collection they should be instructed to respect an individual’s choice to respond to an interview/survey with “no comment” or “no response at all” as a valid answer. Contents Egg Baby or Infant Simulation Activity 3 Money Habits of Teens 4 Fact
