The most commonly used learning resources in class are charts. Charts are a valuable tool for use in social sciences. A chart is a simple flat pictorial display material and, if used appropriately, conveys the displayed information in a highly effective manner. Charts serve as an excellent means of classifying important information that is to be referred to a number of times. They help summarize and simplify complex ideas which students face during reading.

Types of Charts:

  • Narration: This chart narrates the story through pictures and figures. These charts portray historical developments or depict steps in a procedure, such as how a bill becomes law.
  • Tabulation charts present data in the form of a table in order to facilitate making comparisons.
  • Relationship charts show cause-and-effect relationships such as factors related to pollution of the environment, resources and population, etc.
  • Pedigree charts show development that has a single origin such as the lineage of a family.
  • Classification charts point out various kinds of relations such as those for agriculture, industries, modes of transportation, etc.
  • Organization charts show the internal structure of organizations such as a corporation or governmental bodies.
  • Flow charts show stemming a process such as the manufacture of steel. Information charts are developed by the teacher and students throughout a unit of study as a means of developing standards or summaries of materials related to the ongoing study.

Hence, all types of charts can be used in social science class.
