Re: Cleaning Glassware Fast!
Its not just the excessive number of test tubes, but also the amount of horrible chemicals that you then have to dispose of. Are they doing the experiment individually, or with partners?

Re: pipette racks to give away
Not sure why the picture won't open - I tried my best!
They are for glass pipettes eg 25ml, 50ml size.
If you would like them RosalieL can you message me your address.

pipette racks to give away
Hi
Is anyone interested in these pipette racks we no longer want? I think they come apart so could be posted.

Rubens Tube
Good morning
We are hoping to purchase a Rubens Tube but I am having trouble sourcing them. Has anyone purchased one recently and if so, where did you get it from?
Thanks
Kathryn

Re: Do you use a diary?
I use one but I guess I'm a bit old fashioned and I like to be able to easily see the day/week/month. (I still use a paper calendar for personal use). I use an everyday diary which works fine.

Re: Bromine
I'd be reluctant to have bromine around - bromine water is horrible enough.

Sodium benzoate papers are apparently safer.

Re: Chemicals not sold by Westlab or other common suppliers
Think I would be giving the teacher a list of chemicals that you actually have - only buy new things in if they are going to be used regularly.

trundle wheel
Has anyone bought a trundle wheel recently? If so are you happy with it? We bought 2 a year ago. When I got them out to use recently I discovered both of them have lost the clicking mechanisms. No idea where or when - no doubt down on the field somewhere, and not reported at the time.

Re: safety screen
Is this the one you bought? Is it easy to undo to store flat?

Re: Flame Test
We do flame test (paddle pop method) for the Yr 7 orientation. They have a bunch of older students in the class with them. They do 4 mystery chemicals which they have to work out what they are. We find it a great but simple prac to get them excited about doing science the next year.
