IB DP Theory of Knowledge (TOK): 19 Lesson Bundle - Part 2 - 2026

This bundle contains another 19 lessons covering the Areas of Knowledge and optional themes of the IB DP Theory of Knowledge course. There are multiple valid ways to sequence and teach these topics. This is not an exhaustive curriculum. These are just some ready-made lessons and activities for any teacher who needs something to use with their students, whether you follow this order or pick and choose what fits your context. Possible sequence and rationale This bundle picks up where the first 20 lessons left off, completing the Natural Sciences AOK before moving through Mathematics, History, Human Sciences, Ethics, Technology, Politics, the Arts, and Religious and Indigenous Knowledge Systems. The AOKs are ordered to build on each other: Natural Sciences and Mathematics sit together because both deal with formal knowledge and certainty, making comparison straightforward. History and Human Sciences follow because they raise similar questions about method, objectivity, and bias but in messier, more contested territory. Ethics comes next because the Human Sciences lessons, particularly the conformity material, lead naturally into questions of moral knowledge. The Technology and Politics optional themes close the AOK sequence because students are by then equipped to apply everything they have learned to the most current and contested knowledge contexts. The Arts and Religious and Indigenous Knowledge Systems sit last as a deliberate broadening; they challenge students to question the assumptions about knowledge they have built up across the rest of the course.
