Interesting - I'm not sure if this is intended for the pupils or the
science department!

I think the value of these sorts of comparisons comes from the
exploration of them - having pupils discuss and critique them. If
Puni is trying this out with classes it could be interesting to know
the outcomes: what do the pupils make of it.
