Philosophy for kids (ages 8-14). This pack contains 10 different philosophical thought experiments for students to consider and discuss. Each thought experiment has an initial question to consider and then follow up questions to deepen critical thinking. Each thought experiment also has a challenge task for keen beans! Thought experiments are imaginary scenarios that force you to consider some kind of philosophical problem. They are useful for applying philosophy and working through any issues that might arise from the scenario. Thought experiments have been used by philosophers for thousands of years, and for good reason, as they help to ground abstract ideas. Looking for Humanities resources? Check out my shop for more!
