Bandwagon Effect Question Pack - Free Download
Isaac Newton lost millions following the crowd. Genius didn't save him.
That's the Bandwagon Effect: treating popularity as proof - it must be true, smart or safe because everyone's doing it. Your kids swim in it. Trends. Group chats. In every "but everyone else is" they'll ever reach for. This free Question Pack teaches them to catch it.
What's in the free Question Pack:
- Discussion and research questions that get kids arguing about the Isaac Newton story - the productive kind of arguing
- A guided walk through how the man who could calculate the motion of stars followed the crowd into the South Sea Bubble and lost a fortune
- An answer sheet, so you can run it at the dinner table or in a classroom with zero prep
The deal, stated plainly
We teach people to spot manipulation, so it would be a bit rich to hide ours. This pack is free because it's the best advertisement we have. You hand over your email, we send the download, and every so often we'll email you about new comics, book and our card game. Unsubscribe the moment we get boring.
One email. Check your spam folder - our goodies have a talent for landing there.
What the free pack doesn't include
The fully illustrated Isaac Newton story. The Duchess & Bruno comic. The Spot-the-Fallacy hunt through real ads and headlines. The Code Breaker, the Draw Your Own Comic page, and the hidden Gizmo kids go feral trying to find.
All of that lives in the Bandwagon Effect Activity Pack - a 20-page printed booklet, rated 5.0 by teachers and parents on Etsy and TPT.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My kids absolutely adore the characters and story! It reminds us of horrible histories. I haven't found anything like this pack before." - Sandra
It's one of 24. Every pack takes one fallacy, one historical disaster and one comic - and turns them into a kid who is very hard to fool.
