This thought-provoking philosophy teaching resource focuses on ethics and meta-ethics: instead of focusing on specific moral issues (which is covered in a different session on ‘Applied Ethics’ this re-usable lesson explores the fundamental nature of ethics, the difference between ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, the function of moral language, different theories of normative ethics, different ways of thinking about how we ought to live, and deeper issues around the metaphysical status of good and evil.
This session is ideal for teachers who want to explore philosophy with students and is of particular value to teachers who want to nurture the moral development of their students (perhaps in an SMSC or PSHE context) and trigger deeper reflections on the fundamental nature of ‘right and wrong’; we’ve carefully selected the most significant issues and questions relating to normative ethics and meta-ethics so that young learners can engage in fun philosophical discussions and debates. This session explores topics such as:
The fundamental nature of good and evil
Different ways of evaluating the morality of actions
Virtue ethics and what it means ‘to be a good person’
Whether or not morality is absolute or relative (e.g. to different cultures and time-periods)
The degree to which moral judgements refer to objective facts
The degree to which moral judgements are baseless and arbitrary
The big question asked in this session is “What is the fundamental difference between good and evil acts?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical questions such as:
What makes it reasonable to call a specific action “good”?
Are there some actions that we can say are always evil in all situations, time periods and cultures?
What is the role of empathy in compassion in determining the most morally correct course of action in life? and
What is the most important virtue to cultivate in life?
Students will also analyse and evaluate an eclectic mix of philosophical claims such as:
“Some actions are morally permissible even when they create suffering for others.”
“Some people are born evil” and
“It is impossible to truly know the difference between right and wrong, good and evil.”
This resource is suitable for teachers of all school subjects who are looking to introduce philosophy, philosophical thinking and critical thinking. The file is a PowerPoint Show: no planning or preparation is required, just run the file and the intuitive menu system will make delivering a powerful philosophy session very easy!
Help students to protect themselves against misinformation and delusion with this powerful set of resources!
In the age of misinformation teaching critical-thinking skills is an essential duty for teachers and schools. Aside from our standard ‘Fun Philosophy Lesson’ which will help you to trigger deep discussions and engaging debates about critical thinking with ease, this download also includes a special ‘Defence Against the Dark Arts’ lesson which is based on recent research that suggest ‘inoculating against misinformation’ is far more effective than trying to undo false beliefs retrospectively. The resource also includes our Logical Fallacy Training Pack which helps students practice their skills at detecting deceptive and manipulative arguments using the power of reason and logic!
This philosophy teaching resource pack is of interest to all teachers working with students aged 8-16 and explores topics such as:
The nature of critical thinking
The value of scepticism
Emotional biases in the pursuit of truth
Logical Fallacies
Reliable vs unreliable sources of information
Detecting misinformation online
The big question asked in this session is “How do we know if a particular claim is really true?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical questions such as:
Why is it important to be sceptical about what we read online?
What might happen to a person who had absolutely no critical-thinking skills?
What are the main sources of bias that influence your ability to wisely discern truth from falsehood? and
To what extent is it possible to be 100% certain about anything?
Students will also analyse and evaluate an eclectic mix of philosophical claims such as:
“We can trust that what our parents and teachers tell us is definitely true.”
“Our emotions and feelings can get in the way of our rational pursuit of the truth” and
“We should be wary of people who hold extreme political views”
As with all our resources, this session will help students to develop vital communication, social and interpersonal skills: healthy debates will help learners to practice ‘disagreeing in an agreeable fashion’. This resource is suitable for students aged 8-16; due to the flexible nature of the sessions design it can be used for multiple hour-long sessions or as a short stimulating tutor-group activity.
The ‘Fun Philosophy Lesson’ resource uses our unique format for philosophy teaching resources and features an integrated menu that allows teachers to select from a variety of starter, main, plenary, assessment and end-of-lesson reflection activities.

Thank you for your download!
Positive reviews are greatly appreciated.
This bundle is for a collection of ‘Philosophy Boxes’ lessons/sessions.
Each session comprises a P4C lesson/session that can be used 2-3 times with the same group.
This contains the complete 20 sessions bundle designed for Primary School Teachers. It is tantamount to a complete cross-curricular P4C course and will be useful for countless hours of teaching across every subject. Many of the sessions are also great for tutor/form time.
The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to P4C designed for students in KS1, 2 & 3: it is graphically stimulating, engaging, and fun. This download is also suitable for older students: but the format was designed with younger students in mind.
The aim of Philosophy Boxes is to bring philosophy and critical thinking into every subject at every level: we believe that any subject becomes philosophy when students are asked the right questions and when they think about a topic hard enough and on the deepest (most fundamental) level.
The Philosophy Boxes Method presents students with a set of ‘mystery boxes’, when a student selects one of the boxes they are presented with 1 of 21 discussion/debate activities [that use 1 of 8 different formats].
The presentation has integrated AfL so that teachers can test knowledge at any point in the lesson. There are 10 different AfL slides to choose from.
The design is colourful, animated, fun and engaging: all activities require movement and teachers can decide whether students are expressing their ideas purely verbally or by using post-it notes.
The nature of the design is that it can be used for short sessions (5-10 minutes) or much longer sessions (up to 2 hours!) - it allows for classroom practitioners to be flexible and adaptable. It can, therefore, be used in lessons or as a tutor-time activity.
The download includes a PowerPoint Show; if you would like an editable PPT presentation so that you can make your own ‘Philosophy Boxes’ presentation you will need to download the template here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-the-philosophy-boxes-method-template-for-creating-your-own-philosophy-boxes-lessons-p4c-p4k-11463227

This bundle contains all five of our new exam wrappers (aka cognitive wrappers, assessment wrappers).
All of these exam wrappers are: A4, double-sided, colour, and editable. We have included both .doc and .pdf versions to aid with printing.
This bundle now also includes our zero-print ‘Virtual Assessment Wrapper’ which features fifty slides of student reflection activities for before and after assessments!
Exam wrappers foster metacognition in students (i.e. getting to think about how they learn best and what factors are influencing their academic performance) - use of exam wrappers are frequently cited by researchers as an example of effective metacognition in schools.
It is widely accepted that the use of exam wrappers is “best practice”, yet there are very few available online and those that exist are often for university students and not suitable for younger people. These wrappers are designed for students aged 14-18 (KS4 & KS5) - and are designed to be fast, fun, and engaging.
This download comprises all five of our exam wrappers, buying them in this bundle saves money and the variety of exam wrappers will help students to engage in a broader array of metacognitive reflection activities and help maintain engagement.
