Do Humans Have a Soul? – KS3 Catholic RE Lesson (Year 8)
This fully resourced and engaging KS3 lesson invites Year 8 students to explore one of the most important questions in Catholic teaching: Do humans have a soul?

Using clear explanations, accessible quotes from sources like Aristotle and the Youth Catechism, and age-appropriate language, this lesson supports all learners to think deeply about what makes us truly human. It also addresses common challenges and alternative viewpoints, promoting critical thinking and respectful discussion.
With built-in literacy support, structured questions, and meaningful activities, this resource is ideal for developing pupils’ understanding of Catholic anthropology and key religious concepts like imago Dei, free will, and the spiritual world.
