Also I cant find it again, but someone did a price breakdown to justify their purchase would you mind sharing that?

Hi All Labbies, I have been through the listings under dishwasher. I was approved for the one sent out recently by Westlab free delivery for a bench top $505. I tried contacting Meile but they will take a couple of days to get back to me & I have to get to my HOD by lunch. Anyone who has bought ...

Congratulations. tank you for all your help on here as well.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to track down a worksheet/ activity/interactive that involves reading ammeter and voltmeter scales for year 8 classes.

Any suggestions?

Hi All, W are trying to compare fast and slow cooling of crystal for The changing Earth in year 8 and have used stearic & potassium nitrate but the differences are very hard to pick up. Does anyone one have another chemical compound that works better in producing small crystals when cooled quick...

Hi Labbie,
Happy New Year,
The Hunter sounds like a good idea. We went camping at Easts Beach Kiama with the kids and enjoyed having a beach front for a week.
Recharged and happy to get stuck into this term.

Good point, but haven't an idea. They should have.

Great idea, thank you

That's Good news

Being a lover of chocolate, I agree its a great incentive. But the HOD wants to reduce the pracs that have this element mostly to cut costs. I don't think he believe it is worth the cost!!!

Hi All,
Would have loved to but I'm away that week.
Thanks for asking, maybe next time.

Hi All, We have been doing the M&M prac for "Simulating radioactive decay" ex Core Science Stage 5. I was wondering has anyone modified it with something more sustainable rather than buying M&M's each time a teacher wanted to do it? You need 100 (for each group/student) of somethin...
