Science and Religion AQA 9-1 GCSE (The Existence of God and Revelation 5.4)

In this active and group working lesson students explore examples of scientific challenges to religion and evaluate the claim that science has removed the need for religion. They will come to an understanding of the unique offering made my both science and religion to our understanding of the world and be able to employ quotes from a range of key thinkers.

The lesson was designed for use with the new AQA Religious Studies A - ‘Arguments against the existence of God’. It is, however, a mainstay of all exam boards and will work across the new specifications. Target grade is 7-9 though you can reduce the level of challenge my focussing on the easier sources.

Included:
- Lesson Plan
- PowerPoint
- Card sort - Scientific Discoveries
- Quote cards for Science and Religion

I have loved teaching this lesson and it has always led to very high level evaluative responses.
