This fully resourced lesson is part of a KS3 Ethics Scheme of Work on Ancient Religions, focusing on Ancient Egypt and moral behaviour. It explores how religious beliefs influenced ethical decision-making and encourages students to evaluate whether fear is an effective way to control behaviour.
The lesson is centred around the key enquiry question:
“Is fear a good way to make people behave morally?”
Students are introduced to key Ancient Egyptian beliefs, including:
• Polytheism and the role of gods in daily life
• The concept of Ma’at (truth, justice, and balance)
• Beliefs about the afterlife and judgement
• The Weighing of the Heart, where behaviour determines eternal consequences
The lesson emphasises how these beliefs shaped moral behaviour and provides clear links to modern ethical thinking.
