9 slides on the Epistemology topic of AQA including:
1 slide on the spec (helps students understand what and why they’re leaning)
1 slide of keywords (could use this as a defining exercise by covering it up etc)
3 slides on Descartes (waves of doubt / proof of external world) with criticisms
1 slide on Plato’s innatism
3 slides on Locke vs Leibniz (rationalism vs empiricism / tabula rasa)
Used for a 1 on 1 session and it lasted 2 hours. Could definitely stretch it out in larger classes with your own talking points
25 slides including:
1 slide on the specification (I find it useful for people to know why they’re learning about it)
8 slides on Direct Realism including problems with it and responses
8 slides on Indirect Realism including problems with it and responses
8 slides on Idealism including problems with it and responses
This was used in a 1 on 1 session and it lasted my 3 hours.
You could definitely stretch this out in classes of multiple people with talking points of your own added.
16 slides on the Tripartite View Section of AQA Philosophy
Includes what the spec says
What is the Tripartite View
Knowledge without Truth, Belief or Justification
Gettier Cases

In a class of 30 you could probably stretch it if you include your own talking points etc.
14 slides on Kantian Ethics.
The last few slides contain essay and exam advice about a specific question to Kant.
Covers his Formulations and Postulates, includes keywords.
Has an activity to apply to ethical dilemmas (SE, BE, Euthanasia).
I used this for a one hour one-one tuition session and didn’t get through everything so could probably stretch even further in a class of 30+.
14 slides on the Person of Jesus Christ topic in OCR’s Philosophy module
Covers
The specification and what it says
Key words
5 slides on the Trinitarian Theory including biblical evidence and criticisms
2 slides on Jesus’ Miracles

I used this for an hour private tuition session and we got through it all, however if you’re using this in a class I imagine you could make it last a couple of lessons at least by adding discussion points etc.
This bundle contains 5 lessons which each took 2 hours to complete. So realistically there is about 10 hours of content in here (which could be stretched out because these were designed to do one on one!).
