🎉 Welcome young historians! Prepare to embark on a quest through the exciting realm of knowledge! 🎉

• What's the Big Idea?
  • There are eight distinct areas that categorize different types of knowledge in the ToK (Theory of Knowledge) course. Each area has its unique characteristics.
• 📋 The List of AOKs
  • Mathematics 🧮
  • Natural Sciences 🔬
  • Human Sciences 🧠
  • History 📜 (That's us!)
  • The Arts 🎨
  • Ethics 💭
  • Religious Knowledge Systems ⛪️
  • Indigenous Knowledge Systems 🌿
• Why's This Important? 🤔
  • Just like you wouldn't use the same strategy to win in both chess and football, we approach different AOKs in different ways! For instance, you can't judge a painting the same way you'd analyze a math equation, right?

• History ≠ Natural Science
• Sure, both strive for truth, but they find it differently.
• Example: Imagine you find an old diary from the 1800s. As historians, we interpret its contents, context, and source. But a chemist? They might be more interested in the ink's composition! Different methods for different quests.
