Re: Laundry
I wash our towels, lab coats and cloths in the home Ec washing machine, then pop into drier afterwards.
How do you manage without a washing machine? One place I worked in didnt have a washing machine, it was stressful, and towels hanging everywhere

Re: Xylem & phloem?
Make sure that your celery has enough leaves to allow transpiration, to draw water up. Can use red food colouring if you have no eosin.
Place the celeryin the dye water out in the lab, with cutting boards. scalpels or razors or hand microtomes. the teachers and studetns are to cut it themselves

I have a central point for the sand bucket, that being the "Spills Kit" corner. Makes a good barrier to stop spilled liquids from running, as well as can be used to smother small fires. Since they are kept in the prep room area and out of student reach, they dont accumulate rubbish. Also v...
