KS3/4 RE - Using Science in Religion

Description

How can RE deal with science, or should the two be kept separate? Find out in this fascinating workshop featuring three RE teachers from across the country and led by senior representatives from the Science and Religion in Schools Project.

The workshop looks first at miracles and issues like rational thinking and different types of explanations. A group of teachers then discusses:

• Environmental ethics
• The use of models
• Creation and the notion of terraforming, a useful scheme of work designed to bring the creation material alive

The session is led by the editor-in-chief of the Science and Religion in Schools Project, Adrian Brown, and Paul Hopkins, the project manager. The rest of the group consists of:

• Kathryn Kane, a secondary RE teacher from Archbishop Tennyson High School in South London
• Bernard Andrews, a secondary RE teacher from Oaklands Community School in Southampton
• Helen Wedge from The Thomas Hardye School in Dorchester
