Philosophy for children. Edge of the universe

(0)
This resource consists of a lesson plan, that can be done in two sessions, and three presentations. The lesson plan explains in detail how to deliver the unit, ideally in two sessions, and how to link each activity to the proper slide of the two power points. The first one of those presentations has an introduction for children (from as young as year 3 in UK and up to year 6) of what is philosophy for children, and three game-activities The second power point has a story that I have written myself presenting an Ancient Greek problem about the edge of the universe, posited by Archytas of Tarentum. After the story, the presentation has the instructions and materials to do a philosophical inquiry by children following Mathew Lipman´s program. The third power point has a series of statements to print and laminate to be used in an activity. All the activities, including the reading of my story, may be done in 90 minutes. With this lesson I use a fictional situation to reflect about the edge of the universe and the meaning of physical concepts such as space, while using the model of philosophical inquiry for children, this is to play thinking games and to learn dialog expressions in order to solve cooperatively an abstract problem.
