Lesson introducing the classic logical fallacies within the broader context of teaching students how to argue effectively.

Y7-above. Exploring what a cult is - key features - and thinking about how cults and religions vary and what might make the two categories distinct. Good group activity where descriptions of movements are given but the name of the movement has been omitted. Students have to decide, based on the description alone, whether they think it is a cult or a religion and then go on to try and match the name with the movement.

GCSE or AS Religious Studies, Philosophy of Religion. Questions and activities included. Subjects include: Big Bang, Steady State Theory, Evolution, Theistic Evolution, Intelligent Design.

This is a controversial lesson and should make for some great discussion. It begins with a mini IQ test, followed by a discussion about how to define intelligence. Finally, an argument based on the science of embryonic screening is presented (screening for and discarding embryos with a low IQ prediction) and a very challenging and controversial conclusion is drawn (which I in no way endorse!) which students are asked to contend with, intellectually.

Y7-Y8 includes a cool activity based on the game show, Pointless.

For 11-13. Should be self explanatory. Objective is to help students understand the historical and religious context out of which the Bible was translated into English and the reasons why the Roman Church was so opposed.

A Level Philosophy, Epistemology, the unreliability of the senses, optical illusions, Hume and the problem of induction, Hume on causation vs constant conjunction.

Definitely 16+ and at the mature end... We explore the infamous case of the West Memphis Three and the principle of presumption of innocence and reasonable doubt. Caution advised as this case involves the murder of children. There is no graphic content but the subject matter is disturbing.

Group game - like Have I got News For You Caption Competition. Teacher judges the best caption for each picture.

16+ or younger depending on ability and maturity.
