CONTENT STUDIO PREVIEW

1. Official curriculum anchor

1.4 · Nature of Science · Investigating in science

produce and select data (qualitatively/quantitatively), critically analyse data to identify patterns and relationships, identify anomalous observations, draw and justify conclusions

Common level · Junior Cycle Science current specification

2. Original iLEARN experience

  1. Learning intention: work directly toward 1.4.
  2. Entry: short original explanation plus key vocabulary.
  3. Active task: use one of the recommended formats below.
  4. Check: learner explains, applies or demonstrates the outcome.
  5. Improve: feedback then retry/redraft.
  6. Evidence: save the improved response against SCI-JC-NOS-04.

3. Recommended content formats

  • Source enquiry — curated lawful sources · source questions · evidence grid · claim-evidence-reasoning response
  • Worked example — model problem · visible steps · faded second example · independent try
  • Retrieval quiz — 5–8 original questions · immediate low-stakes feedback · retry
  • Sort / classify — original cards/items · sorting rule · explain-one-choice prompt

Originality rule: new wording, examples, questions, datasets, diagrams and sequences. Publisher material is not copied or stored.

4. Required learner variants

Easy English · Standard English · Exam/subject language

Easy / Standard / Exam English · Read aloud · Reduced motion · Chunked instructions · Voice or typed response · Vocabulary support · Non-visual / non-drag alternative when needed

5. Teacher control

The authenticated Content Studio backend now supports preview → save draft → teacher edit → approve. Nothing becomes learner-visible by default.
