On asking our senior school chem/physics teacher, he said to state it simly that it will simply freeze.

Narelle,
That is such good news and I hope you have a great adventure at you new school.

Hi there Ian, I have just briefly viewed the FAQ via the link you posted and we must fall into the hostile environment category. Here in the science dept we test all equipment yearly. With all our precious cherubs using electrical equipment, it is if nothing else a safeguard as we know how equipment...

Here in NSW we have a document called Chemical Safety in Schools where in Section 3.2.4(b) page 29. It says "Experiments with fresh human blood or fresh humanb tissue eg. cheek cell smears should not be undertaken."
Hope this can be of help to you.

You are not over reacting, it is a BIG NO and has been that way for quite some time. I can 't remember where and when
it was stated. Can find out a little latter but by then I am sure someone will have the facts for you.

For our density prac we use golden syrup, water and oil to which we add a couple of jelly beans, wing nuts, lego blocks and peanuts. This works well. The teacher handles the peanuts.

I have had similar issues with Max and serrata and avoid there like the plague. Having said that I have needed to purchase capstan blocks and he was the only place that I could source from, so heres hoping they will be ok. He is quite proud of his factory in China, but the products are very dissapoi...

I use A4 or A3 boxes and sperate with bubble wrap. Works well. For the round bottom flasks I keep them in the boxes they came in.

Good morning
