Don't worry I found it

Over the holidays my computer was replaced and I lost all my websites saved in favourites I am now having trouble accessing Chemwatch Gold II as it keeps asking for a user name and password. I am a DET school, and have a feeling the address to access is different. Can someone help me please Thanks Dee

I have just organised our rocks into plastic semi clear lunch boxes (2 lunch boxes for $3 at the reject shop) I have bought them out of lunch boxes twice now, as I am also using them for all sorts of other bits and pieces - balloons, straws, safety labels etc etc I simple stick a label/rock number o...

I know this is an old thread, but how much dilute acid do I add to a 0.1M solution of potassium dichromate to acidify it. (100mls) Is a few drops of 1M sulfuric acid enough? I am making indicator paper for the sulfuric acid pracs in y12 Industrial chem. We didn't have success last year and I am tryi...

I am gobsmacked - don't these supposedly intelligent people have any sense......

Unless they were brand new or specifically for that prac who knows what has been in them.....

Yeh I have hard copies as well

my excel sheet is just to make it easier to look for expired ones rather than wading through 4 folders to check each one

I just think its a huge waste of resources - printing, paper and time

I am in the middle of updating our MSDS's, you know that tedious job that just has to be done :yuck: :yuck: :yuck: And I was thinking about the poor old MSDS's getting printed off and placed in a folder never to see the light of day for 5 years and then getting pulled out and thrown in the recycling...

Just been having a quick look at the national curriculum on the ACARA site.

It looks like there will be no more Senior Science and that of the 4 other courses only 4 topics per course instead of the 7 plus options we presently have in NSW

Interesting times!!!!!!

I know how you feel My DS 19 joined the army and went of for basic training in December at Kapooka in Wagga - he had so many up and down moments and nearly threw in the towel but came out the other end a lot stronger and in a better head space He is at Pukapunyal (Vic.) at the moment - probably for ...

But don't forget they will still need us to set up the technology ..lol...

With regards to the GA's positions I know there was talk of this last year about bringing in contractors but the union stepped in and as far as I knew it had been sorted. How do they honestly expect a school to run without a GA. Its hard enough keeping the maintainence of older schools (like mine) u...

I had this happen to me - I was sent to the library for a number of hours each week. I stipulated that I wouldn't go if I had pracs over that time etc, and basically told that I would have to make up the time during the week. Well I got my guys (my lovely science teachers) to periodically come or se...

Got mine in the mail this morning, it is filled in and in the deputy's intray for approval as we speak.

Fingers crossed it goes through ok.

Can't wait

Thanks Dime

That worked, I will now save it to favourites again

Thanks again

Help.... over the last 2 terms my computer at work has been dying and finally died..... along with it all my favourites including Chemwatch Gold. Now when I finally get to the site (after doing a google search) it asks me for a user name and password - I have never had this before so maybe I am not ...

How do you find out if you are on the list for the new lab refurbishments in NSW? We were knocked back for refurbishment under the new federal government grants but am still hoping that our 40 year old labs and prep room may get a look in..... For those of you that have had refurbishment were you ju...

It just keeps getting worse and worse.
Unimaginable....

My thoughts and prayers are with all involved

Thats the problem isn't it - even if we wanted to attend, funding the day is the problem and I much prefer to go th St Mary's every year so don't even request other training.
