“SKEPTICS GUIDE TO …” DISCUSSION SHEETS
In addition to our past blog posts, available here are articles of interest on specific topics. Select your subject of interest from the links below.
The discussion sheets have been aimed at the hypothetical “average year 10 student”, and are designed to be readily copied for use in the classroom. We hope that they are relevant and touch on issues that children know about and may already be dealing with; and we hope that they help to encourage rational thought processes when dealing with the alternatives.
