Appendix – Explanations

SOC 0-01a to SOC 4-01a


This set of experiences and outcomes provides progression in the evaluation of sources and
other historical evidences and can be used in conjunction with other outcomes within People,
past events and societies.

SOC 4-05c
A meeting of cultures may result from, for example, conflict, conquest, exploration or
discovery, the expansion of power or migration.

SOC 2-06a
Chronology skills are developed progressively in a variety of contexts. The main stages of
progression within these skills would be: sequencing evidence; creating sequences and
timelines; locating events in sequence and time; representing situations before and after.
Throughout this process, learners will develop their understanding of the chronology of key
events studied in Scottish, British, European and world history.

SOC 3-07a, SOC 4-07a


In these outcomes children and young people will discover the impact forces such as ice,
rivers, wind, coasts and tectonics have on the landscape and develop an understanding of the
interaction between these forces. Consideration of, for example, aspects of geological time,
geology and atmosphere may help to clarify this relationship.

SOC 4-11c
Children and young people will build on their previous knowledge of different population
structures through exploring aspects such as demographics, migration and the effects of
population growth.

SOC 1-14a to SOC 4-14a


Mapping skills are developed progressively using maps in a variety of contexts. The main
stages of progression within these skills would be: using and making simple maps; using and
interpreting maps; using thematic maps and mapping conventions; using map information to
support conclusions. Throughout this process, learners will develop their own mental map to
be able to recognise and locate a range of key features at the local, national and global
levels.

SOC 0-15a to SOC 4-15a


This set of experiences and outcomes provides a basis for progression in evaluation of
evidence in the context of current social, political and economic issues and can be used in
conjunction with other outcomes within People in society, economy and business.

SOC 4-17c
Capitalism, communism and fascism are examples of contrasting ideologies which have had
a global impact and shaped the societies influenced by them in significantly different ways.
Within this outcome, learners may also explore contrasting belief systems.
