Re: Elephants Toothpaste

Hi
I also put a couple of drops of different dye colours around the rim of the cylinder,so that when it rises,it makes striped toothpaste and also put it in a large tray if possible, to help with the cleaning up later!

Who's next for Lab updates

Hi
Does anybody know who you ring to find out where you are on the list of Lab upgrades?
When I ring Curriculum Resourses,they said they don't know.
Maybe somebody that has been contacted might enlighten me.
Thanks Rhonda

Re: Lab Assistant needed for two or three weeks

Hi Robyn
I suggested to Alexia about ringing the department about the casual list.
Is Margaret Dollar still doing it?
Good Luck and I hope he is on the mend.

What do you do with all your stuff during upgrades?

I dont know when this is happening for us but can I have a few tips from the peolpe that have gone through the upgrades.
eg. The new sliding cupboards in the prep rooms are they wide enough to hold the old wooden drawers? (save emptying etc)
Thanks Rhonda.

Perspex Prism

Does anybody know where I can get a big perspex prism to show lasers through.
30cm wide by about 20cm deep.
A student borrowed mine for Art,filled it full of water and then dropped it.
Needless to say it broke!
