A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
The perfect resource for getting students to think deeply about revision planning, revision strategy, and the most effective approaches to revision in your subject!
This download contains a short printable workbook: with six sides of revision-planning activities it is designed to be printed onto four double-sided pages. We have included editable (.doc) and easy-print (.pdf) formats for your convenience.
The workbook includes reflection tasks that focus on:
Student strengths & weaknesses
Effective approaches to revision
Subject-knowledge evaluation
Revision planning
Revision strategy
Target-setting
The fun and engaging design is based on a medieval ‘Battle Plan’ theme and aims to inspire students to think strategically about their long-term approach to revision. It is ideal for use in lessons or set as a homework task - perhaps especially as a homework assignment for a school holiday.
Suitable for any subject.
This flexible interactive philosophy lesson focuses on epistemology: the field of philosophy concerned with the nature of knowledge, different potential sources of knowledge, the difference between knowledge and opinion, and the different ways in which beliefs can be evaluated.
The download includes a free bonus resource: a comprehensive teaching pack focused on logical fallacies and critical thinking.
This session is ideal for teachers who want to explore philosophy with students and, aside from referring to more conventional epistemological issues, it also explores to the importance of critical-thinking and how students can detect misinformation online and discern between reliable and unreliable sources of information; we’ve carefully selected the most significant epistemological issues and questions so that young learners can engage in fun philosophical discussions and debates. This session explores topics such as:
The nature of knowledge
The difference between knowledge and belief
Different ways of evaluating knowledge claims
Intellectual virtues
Obstacles that arise in the pursuit of truth
This philosophy teaching resource also outlines and explains different epistemological views (such as empiricism, rationalism, fideism and scepticism).
The big question asked in this session is “Is it possible to know anything with absolute certainty?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical questions such as:
To what extent can we rely on the senses as a source of knowledge?
How do we evaluate the validity of different beliefs? and
What drives the spread misinformation and how can we detect it?
Students will also analyse and evaluate an eclectic mix of philosophical claims such as:
“It is impossible to know anything with 100% certainty"
“We should always be sceptical about what others claim to be true” and
“One should never believe in something until one has experienced it personally”
This session 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. Aside from a wide range of debate and discussion activities, teachers can also choose from a variety of more substantial activities such as essay writing, poetry writing, and speech writing tasks.
This resource is suitable for teachers of all school subjects who are looking to introduce philosophy, philosophical thinking and critical thinking.
This thought-provoking philosophy teaching resource focuses on applied ethics and explores some of the most important moral issues of our time. Applied ethics refers to the practical application of moral considerations. It is ethics with respect to real-world actions and their moral considerations in the areas of private and public life, the professions, health, technology, law, and leadership.
(Disclaimer: this session does not discuss abortion or matters relating to sexual ethics, reproductive ethics and/or relationship ethics (which will be covered in separate sessions). We have tried to create a resource that allows young learners to explore applied ethics in an age-appropriate fashion; nonetheless, the session explores controversial issues and should be thoroughly vetted by individual teachers before using it with their students to check that it is suitable for their classes.)
This session is ideal for teachers who want to explore moral decision making 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’ and how we can apply these reflections to our own lives; we’ve carefully selected the most significant moral issues and ethical challenges of our age so that young learners can engage in fun philosophical discussions and debates. This session explores topics such as:
The rights of animals
Moral challenges presented by new technologies
Moral and immoral uses of the internet
Ethical & unethical career choices
Medical ethics and moral challenges presented medical technologies
Artificial Intelligence
The big question asked in this session is “What is the most important moral issue in the world right now?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical questions such as:
To what extent is testing new cosmetics and medicines on animals morally acceptable?
To what extent it is morally preferable to use drone weaponry on the battlefield over human beings?
What are our moral duties and obligations to future generations?
When, if ever, is taking a human life the most moral course of action?
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 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!
This fun philosophy lesson focuses on political philosophy: the branch of philosophy that explores matters relating to politics, liberty, justice, property, and rights. Political philosophy also explores law and how laws are enforced by authorities, the purpose of government, what rights and freedoms it should protect, what form it should take.
Political philosophers also investigate the responsibilities and duties we all have in relation to the state, what duties citizens owe to a legitimate government, and when (if ever) governments may be legitimately overthrown through revolution. This session introduces political philosophy to young learners and refers to important philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
This session is of interest to all teachers working with students aged 8-16 but has a special relevance to teachers of civics, politics, and those covering politics in their school’s PSHE/SMSC curricula. This session explores topics such as:
Different forms of government
The importance of laws
The nature of freedom and ‘free societies’
Human Rights
The nature of utopias and dystopias
The big question asked in this session is “What would a perfect society (utopia) be like? To what extent is creating one possible?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical questions such as:
What do terms like ‘freedom’ and ‘liberty’ really mean?
What qualities ought a good leader of a country to have?
All in all, are we more or less free as a result of living in a modern civilised society?
In our own society, which laws (if any) do you think are potentially unjust?
Students will also analyse and evaluate an eclectic mix of philosophical claims such as:
“Society cannot function without people sacrificing certain freedoms”
“I would rather live in a tribe in the jungle than in a modern society”
“I can think of ways to improve this society and make it a better system for people to live in”
This session 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.
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! 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.
Boggle brains with this fully resourced philosophy lesson explores the fundamental nature, assumptions, foundations, and implications of mathematics!
This multi-use interactive philosophy lesson explores ‘Philosophy of Mathematics’: the branch of philosophy that studies the nature of mathematical truth, mathematical proof, mathematical evidence, mathematical practice, and mathematical explanation.
This fully resourced philosophy lesson is ideal for teachers who want to explore philosophy of mathematics with students aged 8-16*; we’ve carefully selected the most significant issues and questions relating to philosophy of science so that young learners can engage in fun philosophical discussions and debates. This session explores topics such as:
The nature of mathematics
The unique nature of mathematical knowledge
Theories of mathematics such as logicism, intuitionism and formalism
The link between mathematics and the natural world
The idea that mathematics can be beautiful
The big question asked in this session is “Are mathematical laws invented or discovered?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical questions such as
What is a number?
What is the purpose of mathematics?
To what extent is nature itself governed by mathematical principles, rules and laws?
Does a mathematical law refer to physical reality or is it only a mental construct with no bearing on reality?
What is the relationship between scientific knowledge and mathematics?
Students will also analyse and evaluate an eclectic mix of philosophical claims such as:
“Mathematical knowledge is something we discover entirely through studying the physical world”
“Numbers never lie”
“Mathematics is the best way to objectively understand the world”
“Living a good life depends on an understanding of mathematics” and
“Mathematics is best understood as being like a game”
This session 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. With a massive selection of activities designed to trigger philosophical discussions, debates and reflections: you can re-use the resource numerous times with the same group.
This resource is especially suitable for teachers of mathematics who are looking to explore the fundamental nature, assumptions, foundations, and implications of mathematics more deeply with students and bring philosophy, philosophical thinking and critical thinking into their maths lessons.
Explore ethical issues relating to scientific research and advancement with this philosophy teaching resource for students aged 8-16!
This multi-use interactive philosophy lesson is ideal for teachers who want to explore ethical issues relating to science with students aged 8-16; we’ve carefully selected the most significant moral issues and questions relating to philosophy of science so that young learners can engage in interesting philosophical discussions and engaging moral debates. This session explores topics such as:
The nature of ethical vs unethical scientific research
The ethical duties of scientists
Rules that ensure scientific research is ethical
The use of animals in scientific research
Moral issues raised by new scientific advancements (e.g., nuclear weapons, genetic engineering, and artificial intelligence)
One of the overarching issues explored in this session is the degree to which scientists are responsible for the ways in which their research is used and the technologies that research can give rise to.
The big question asked in this session is “What ethical rules should scientists adhere to in the pursuit of knowledge?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical questions such as:
What kinds of ethical considerations should all scientists keep in mind when conducting research?
What ethical rules should all scientists stick to when conducting research?
Are there some things that are fundamentally unethical to research in the first place?
To what extent is it ethical for a scientist to help develop new drone weaponry?
Students will also analyse and evaluate an eclectic mix of philosophical and moral claims such as:
“Sometimes it’s okay to use animals in scientific experiments”
“It’s always okay to experiment on humans if they give consent”
“Some scientific advancements have done more harm than good”
“Scientists should have refused to help develop nuclear weapons” and
“Sometimes it’s okay for scientists to distort data if it leads to a greater good”
