Hey everyone, I hope you're all having a nice end to work or if you have already :party: We have just made all the students buy their own safety glasses this year & the topic came up about lab coats? How many of you have students with their own? Would be great for finances, OH&S, less washin...

HAHAHA Rosalie & Smiley - you guys should write a book on ways to 'get teachers back accidentally on purpose'!!!! Were they REALLY accidents.... come on now ... you can tell me....I won't tell anyone else! Now I have in my head Rosalie walking around her school until she finds the maximum teache...

or tell them it's what was left of the last little cherub that experimented with things they weren't supposed to be touching........???

Or the last teacher that irritated you..............

Thanks Smiley! Much appreciated & the teacher is totally impressed with you & your generosity! And I'm totally impressed with your advice as well!

Can't wait to see the kids efforts!

Tell that to the teachers!!!!!!

I've been trying to gross their lunches out of the fridge for 2 years... even letting some hearts go off in it (not intentionally!) didn't work!

Sunray, I think you should deliberately ring the review board & ask for a review! Let them know you are trying to conform to the safety but your teachers aren't.... It could be a 'random' visit... Does your principal support your efforts?? I really feel for you from some of the comments you've p...

I have hydrogen peroxide, lemon juice, diastase, starch & glucose.

Adrianna, make sure you use lots of "Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs" in the interview & wear a patch when you go for your interview.... Maybe employ a Jack Sparrow swagger... It'll get you the job for sure........ I'm sure they won't think you're strange at all! :rolleyes: :cheesy: :cheesy...

Hi Judy, We are similar to most I think in that our risk assessments are on the back of the prac request sheet. Great in principle but in practice.... most teachers are great & get them done before hand. But I have one DOLT who does them in the middle of class. :redcard: I have tried not putting...

Hahahahaha

I read this as "Bucaneer".... having visions of lab techs with patches over eyes & scaring students with their "Arrrrrrrrrrrrr's".... parrot not far away.... peg legs....

Sorry Margaret! I'm obviously having a great one today!

I hear you Krysia! I can't get there either.... for the second year in a row! :cry2: :-({|= However I hope you all have a wonderful time catching up, meeting new labbies & learning lots of great info to come back & share with us less unfortunates!!! Have a blast everyone! :drunk: Envious Kel

Oh Fiona! I agree with the others.... you aren't the teacher & our job is only to put pracs out for them not source & do all the planning for them! :redcard: Obviously you are very knowledgeable & have a very generous nature! :clap3: Just use it wisely! :thumbup: Mind you, on occasion......

Mmmmm good question Narelle!

One of my teachers asked about it too - I found a copy on Ebay for $22.

It was a great program!

Thanks Row! Awesome prac.

I make mine up fresh from my instant deioniser that is attached permanently to the tap (vertex) and I get ph 7 and it does 2 litres in a few minutes.Its great but a little pricey . Its well worth buying it if you have the money Rhonda Hi Rhonda, it's now a year on from this discussion....... but I ...

Thanks Kimmy!

To do a prac called 'traffic lights' but have none...

Thanks guys!

Cool - thanks for the ideas you guys! I've been wanting to convert my wedding video to DVD for a while.......!

Thanks everyone - so helpful - as always!

The teacher may have it wrong about the safranine then......... does anyone use safranine as anything but an indicator during Gram stains?

Cheers Kel

We are a small independent school & our teachers didn't get any laptops from Mr Rudd either.....
