You should now have 4 anonymous investigation reports to mark according to the SQA instructions. Read and mark the reports in pairs, according to their subject. You will get the 1st period of our double on Monday to finish the task if necessary. We will spend period 6 comparing the marks awarded and discussing what is required for a successful report.

We had 7 weeks of summer holiday this year and it still didn’t seem long enough! Hope you had a great holiday and hope you remember to come back on Tuesday.

S4 – combined heat & power
We started looking at the Energy Matters topic this week with a focus on energy efficiency.

A similar scheme called Caithness Heat and Power was installed in Wick last year.
