During lower school, students are exposed to many "facts" that are later discovered to be "lies". Below is a list of the most shocking.
- Science
- The chapter on human reproduction is not to be giggled at. (Year 7)
- Physics
- "The states of matter are three in total."
- There are 3 states of matter; Solid, Liquid and Gas. (Year 1-12)
- There are 4 states of matter; Solid, Liquid Crystal, Liquid and Gas. (Year 13)
- Plasma is a state of matter (find it in the sun, lightning balls and computer games), as is the Bose-Einstein Condensate, a grand total of 6! (Year 13 research)
- "Light goes in straight lines." (Year 5)
- This depends on whether light is a particle, like a student going past a corner, or a wave, like a posse of students moving past the corner and spreading out when more space becomes available on the other side. As it happens, you can think of it as both, and as a result it can bend round corners. (Year 12 and 13)
- This mock is easier than the last one. (It never is)
- "You too can understand electrons."
- All that matters that is matter is Protons, Neutrons and Electrons (Year 7-11)
- Electrons are particles (Year 12 and 13)
- Electrons are waves (Year 13)
- "We know what we're doing."
- We don't.
- "The states of matter are three in total."
- Chemistry
- Electrons are ... (Years 7-9)
- Electrons are arranged in shells of 2,8,8,16 (Years 10 and 11)
- Electrons are arranged in subshell orbitals (Year 12 and 13)
- History
- It's good if you write "Therefore, to conclude" etc... (Years 7-11)
