Below you'll find links to all of the resources that I've developed for teaching critical thinking in the science classroom. 
You can download the worksheets individually or as bundles that include extra sections for eliciting students' prior knowledge and reflecting on their learning.

I offer many of my individual worksheets for FREE, but if you find them useful and you'd like to show your appreciation, I accept donations through the link to the right.

The James Webb Space Telescope Unit
This unit uses the James Webb Space telescope to introduce students to fundamental concepts in science such as:
  • Waves
  • The electromagnetic spectrum
  • The Doppler effect
  • Redshift
  • The Big Bang

The Auroras Unit
This unit uses the phenomenon of the auroras to introduce students to the concepts of:
  • Atomic structure
  • The periodic table
  • Atomic absorption and emission
  • Hydrogen fusion
  • SI unit conversion
  • Covalent bonding

Cognitive Biases and Logical Fallacies Bundle

​Now, more than ever, it's important for students to think critically about the information that they encounter every day. In this packet, I use examples of three cognitive biases and five logical fallacies that people commonly encounter to help students understand how their thinking can go wrong, and how we can use science to correct it.

Cognitive Biases and Logical Fallacies Individual Worksheets
​By clicking the images below, you can explore the individual  worksheets that I've developed to accompany my YouTube videos on cognitive biases and logical fallacies.

On each page you'll find a description of the worksheet and three links to download either the Word document, PDF, or a .zip file containing both.

Science and the Media Bundle
Access to information is easier today than it has ever been. The challenge for students is how to differentiate between reliable information and misinformation.
This series of five videos and accompanying worksheets walk students through some of the ways science can help us recognise misinformation and help to slow its spread.
