The Enlightenment has been developed especially for senior secondary students of History and is part of the Nelson Modern History series. Each book in the series is based on the understanding that History is an interpretive study of the past by which you also come to better appreciate the making of the modern world.
An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump was painted in England by Joseph Wright of Derby in 1768. It was one of a number of scenes Wright painted in the 1760s that featured scientific experiments. In this case, the painting shows a scientist undertaking an experiment in which oxygen is drawn from a glass vessel. The experiment worked and the bird that was trapped in the glass vessel lost consciousness through lack of oxygen. This painting, like the others in the series, encapsulates the spirit of the Enlightenment, a movement that encouraged people to understand the world in rational terms rather rely on the irrational.
Developing understandings of the past and present in senior History extends on the skills you learnt in earlier years. As senior students you will use historical skills, including research, evaluation, synthesis, analysis and communication, and the historical concepts, such as evidence, continuity and change, cause and effect, significance, empathy, perspectives and contestability, to understand and interpret societies from the past. The activities and tasks in The Enlightenment have been written to ensure that you develop the skills and attributes you need in senior History subjects.
