This Ideology and Science resource bundle within the Beliefs in Society A Level Sociology unit explores the complex relationship between science, ideology, and belief systems, helping students develop a nuanced understanding of how knowledge is constructed, challenged, and maintained in society. The PDF summary introduces core debates surrounding the status of science as an objective truth versus a socially constructed worldview, drawing on key thinkers. It also examines how ideologies—such as Marxism, Feminism, and Nationalism—function similarly to belief systems, shaping values and justifying power structures. The PowerPoint presentation presents key concepts like the scientific paradigm, falsifiability, open vs closed belief systems, and hegemony, using accessible examples and theory integration. To strengthen analysis and evaluation, the bundle includes connectives worksheets and skills-based activities, such as theory-comparison charts, source-based interpretations, and essay scaffolds for high-level exam writing. A dedicated podcast episode explores the boundaries between science, religion, and ideology, engaging students in questions like “Can science be free from ideology?” or “Is science just another belief system?” An interactive quiz consolidates understanding of key terms, theories, and sociological arguments in a fun, student-friendly format. Altogether, this bundle equips learners with the tools to critically examine the contested status of science and ideology in shaping how we understand the world
