@docbrownchem Great, more questions like that needed as it’s difficult to generate practice versions and hard to find any published. Some that incorporated calculation of empirical formulae and/or some bits of chemical analysis would also be useful. Thanks!
@DanielVango@adamboxer1@tes There’s no good research. cf. EEF. If any has turned up recently I’d love to know. We spent years not setting because ‘it helps good kids, hinders weaker ones’ but I think that is just apocryphal. Like Adam said, the easiest research would be to find P8>1 schools that don’t set!
@inimitablepgw Personally, if anyone had told me that a tie like that suited me, I should have risen and struck them on the mazzard, regardless of their age and sex
@adamboxer1 You don’t need to take them off. In West London figs crop very consistently. I get loads off my tree and by the end of July I reckon I could find a nice juicy fig approximately every 300m if I went for a walk!
@danielgoyal When I was in hospital with appendicitis/sepsis it was routine for my results to come through online, so I knew the direction of travel before anyone spoke to me.
@EnserMark@tes Literally never heard a good answer to our version of this question. Most interviewees are currently on PGCE and they never seem to have any awareness.
@sleeplessorphan@kateowbridge We’re about 9th in the world for outcomes. Top 5 in Europe. I don’t know if they have longer holidays but they mostly don’t have better results.
@adamboxer1 shielding is irrelevant because the increase in distance from the nucleus dwarfs any effect it may have, so I ignore shielding for first ionisation. Never seen a question that requires shielding (but often ‘allowed’). I don’t tend to focus much ‘allow’ things.
