Thanks Merilyn,
I looked on their website and found it in the FAQ section. I have now sent the link on the vernier page to the science teachers for them to see what they think. They seem like the way to go instead of buying the interface as well.

Re: data loggers
I know that data loggers is a topic that comes up A LOT! So I’ve chosen this thread to jump onto/into… Are any of the above mentioned data loggers compatible with iPads? I am looking on websites etc to see what I should recommend to our school. We currently have a data harvest that we struggle to ge...

Re: Carbon Dioxide Meter
I will be honest and say I have not been keeping up with regulations/requirements for CO2 monitoring. Is the idea behind this that if CO2 rises then there is not enough ventilation and COVID is more likely to be transmitted if present? I might suggest this to our school as well. I am not sure if we ...

Re: storage of separating funnels
Photo copy box lids at my old school. We could fit 3 in each from memory. I actually don’t remember seeing any at my current school so I will have to look for them when I’m back on site!

Chemistry at home - year 8
Hi everyone! Has anyone got suggestions for year 8 chemical reactions they can do at home? So far I have come up with: Vinegar and milk Bicarb and vinegar Making pancakes/pikelets (to observe the creation of gas on heating) Making honeycomb (under adult supervision! - again rapid release of gas when...

Re: Gas syringes
I use the glass ones, clamp a hose on the end so the gas doesn't escape. To get rid of it bubble it out under water. I did end up finding the glass ones and I showed the teacher and he said “I’m not letting my kids have those!” :cheesy: At least he knows his class!! We ended up using the plastic on...

We have one star that one of the arms/prongs/whatever you want to call it has snapped off. I am assuming this is irreparable? Seems such a waste to throw it in the bin though…

Re: HELP
Does anyone use the conductivity stars? They have little wells at the end of each metal rod for wax. I’m just wondering what methods you use to get the wax in there? Do you just scrape a bit off the cube of wax that comes with them? They are tiny!

Gas syringes
How can you tell if the syringes are too “sticky” for measuring gas? Do you have some that are used for gas only or are your syringes all together? I have found the plastic ones here and I am worried the gas from the experiment won’t have enough pressure to move them. I don’t really have time to try...

Labelling for food tech
Hi, I know this isn’t science lab related but I know there are many labbies who do food tech as well. What do you label everything with to keep items in the correct kitchen bays? We have a colour code system which I am redoing because some things have 3 or 4 different colours on them! Do you use nai...

Re: sherbet recipe
That's my thought as well. I wonder if the kids at my previous school were ripped off all those years!! haha or maybe they did have the bi-carb and I just don't remember. It has been a while!

sherbet recipe
Hi All,
What's your sherbet recipe? Does it use bi-carb soda? From memory, we used to use citric acid, icing sugar and jelly crystals. Most recipes I've just googled have bi-carb soda as well. Does it make much difference?
Thanks for your ideas!
Rosalie

Thanks Milo. I mean the full lid for storing chemicals without the droppers in. I'm pretty sure I used to buy them from Serrata but I can't find them on the MTA website.
