7 Renewable and non-renewable energy supplies
Energy resources are essential for any society, be it one dependent on subsistence farming or an industrialised country. There are many different sources of energy, some well-known such as coal or petroleum, others less so, such as tides or the heat inside the Earth. Is nuclear power a salvation or a nightmare? This unit provides background information to each resource, so that you can assess them for yourself.

Learning outcomes Having studied this unit you should be able to: develop a strategy for using skills in improving own learning and performance over an extended period of time; monitor progress and adopt your strategy, as necessary, to achieve the quality of outcomes required; evaluate your overall strategy and present outcomes of your work. Except for third party materials and otherwise stated (see Author(s): Introduction This key skill is about helping you understand how you learn; think about how you can improve your own learning and performance, and consider how you might generalise the principles and processes for future learning. Improving your learning and performance could be considered to be a ‘meta-skill’, that is the skill of learning how to learn. This unit, then, is a little different from the other skills units because improving your own learning and performance is not a separate op 1.3.6 Stage 4: Extracting the information You probably feel that you now have all the information the piece of writing contains or that you need, but now we need to categorise the information it contains and to look for connections with our own social scientific concerns. This is the difficult bit, and we don't expect you to be expert at it yet.
Except for third party materials and otherwise stated (see terms and conditions 1.2.7 Summary What we must do to understand numbers as they are used as evidence in social science is to practise and so become familiar with them, and to understand the conventions which determine how they are used. Sets of numerical data can be presented in many ways, as tables, bar charts, pie charts or line graphs. These are just different ways of trying to represent or make a picture of numbers. Which is used is largely a matter of which best shows Next steps 6.2 Multiple influences Using Adjectives to Compare The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Disaster Solar Data on OMNIWeb Natalia Toro on Fundamental Physics at the LHC People in Business
The most ‘important and greatest puzzle’ we face as humans is ourselves (Boring, 1950, p. 56). Humans are a puzzle – one that is complex, subtle and multi-layered, and it gets even more complicated as we evolve over time and change in different contexts.
When answering the question ‘What makes us who we are?’, psychologists put forward a range of explanations about why people feel, think and behave the way they do. Just when psychologists seem to understand one bit of ‘who we are’

Segment 3 of Adjectives for Armando. Learn about adding -er and -est.
In this segment from The Jewish Americans learn how the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire lead to labor reform and workers' rights.
This science brief introduces OMNIWeb, an internet-based data retrieval and analysis interface for near-Earth solar and geomagnetic data. A summary of solar and heliospheric physics, including basic terms, is also provided.
Natalia Toro explains how complex collision data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is being digested and examined and how it may set the course for the science of the future. Her lecture was delivered at the Perimeter Institute in Waterloo, Ontario, on September 18, 2011.
