In my Year 13 A level class, we're currently studying the AQA synoptic unit on Life, Death and Beyond.
4oD is showing Richard Dawkins' series Sex, Death, and the Meaning of Life, which is useful for thinking about atheist responses to ultimate questions. Dawkins is always watchable, even if his tendency to cherry pick his evidence occasionally becomes annoying. The series is available free on 4oD, though you have to register first. Each episode is worth watching if you are studying or teaching the synoptic unit.
Episode 1 considers why we should act morally if there is no God watching us.
Episode 2 explores what science can tell us about death.
Episode 3 asks if there is a purpose to life in a Universe governed by the blind forces of nature.
