We have these in our store room but after 11 years I have still never been asked for them for anything.

I just get ours from the local butchers.
If you can not try the Dissection Connection they deliver to Port I am sure.

This is what we use I normally only make what is needed depending on class size. Briggs-Rauscher Oscillating Color Change Reaction The Briggs-Rauscher reaction, also known as 'the oscillating clock', is one of the most common demonstrations of a chemical oscillator reaction. The reaction begins when...

We have two notice boards in one hall area, I have one with optical illusions that I change every few weeks. The other board I take photos from fun experiments with the children doing the experiment. The kids come and complain that I have put their photo up but then you see them bringing their frien...

I have never thought to do it this way but what ia good idea.
I have a vacume sealer at home and they work great. It was just a cheap one off the internet but had it a couple of years and it gets a workout.

just wondering who attended stop work meetings on Monday.
all our SASS except one did and I think it was a good coverage.

Hi all, I am getting new shelving in my chemical store room as the old stuff is just about had its day. What do you all have and what do you think is good or what not to get.

thank you for your help once again.

KIMMY

All filled out - approval given - and faxed away - now count down begins - looking forwards to catching up with everyone.

My daughter has this and she loves it - just got it from the local chemist.
Must say I did not even give it a thought for school.

Well I am now back in the world of Science after a term as SAM. #-o Boy i never ever thought I would say oh I missed my labs and Prep room. :crazy: It was a good term and I will say i enjoyed what I did for the term. But in saying that boy oh boy am I a happy person to be back in my own little world...

I dont care what it is but if it is to leave my prep room it is labelled. Even if with just a bit of masking tape. I make sure everything has some sort of description on it just for my own personal piece of mind. Even when we do slime or other stuff that the kids take home the zip lock bag has a sti...

my receipe is
2g phenolphthalein in 600ml ethanol then make up to 1 litre with distilled water and filter.

but if you have halved your instructions than it should still me the same M.

But once again it is Monday morning so anything is possible.

I was thinking about this over the weekend.
Since the bottom is deeper than the top what about if you filled the top and than used the bottom as the lid. just put it in revese.

Take care and enjoy your new job.

It will come with challenges but you can always overcome these if you try.

We will miss your input here on chemtalk so do drop in when ever you feel the urge.

Happy Easter.

Depends on what I am mixing :?: - no set rule for all chemicals. I think for a new labbie as bad as this is it is alot of trial and error. Most of us have been thrown in the deep end at one stage and all manage to come out - maybe a few extra wrinkles but always smiling. Just remember there are wors...

how is red bend going - that is were i went to school many years ago.

Give the students a list of what is available in your prep room and if it is different from that they bring in there own. We recently did testing with various cleaning products - I supplied some and if they wanted different ones they supplied them themself also what they tested they provided. Good l...
