Australia's Science Forum

You tell 'em, Smiley love!

Well, I'm heading off to the coalface on a high today, after spending the last few hours catching up with chemtalk posts. Have been too busy to log on the last few weeks - goodness, you're a prolific lot!! :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: ....... But it sure makes me a proud little labbie to count myself ...

Sounds blissful, Noona dear - hope you have a wonderful, magical time, and come home feeling renewed & refreshed.

Can't wait to hear all about it!

Best wishes, Linda, we'll miss you! Fingers crossed that another science opportunity comes up for you in future, while realising that the 'next suburb' is a long drive away. Please encourage the new labbie to join our madhouse (assure her it will help her sanity :crazy: ) Don't forget to let us know...

Welcome, Kerri!

Hope you settle into your new school & town comfortably and with ease.

Look forward to hearing more from you on Chemtalk,

Cheers!

What's the prac, Margaret?

Perhaps a nearby labbie may already have it set up, and be wilkling to loan you the needed apparatus.

Please pass along a BIG thankyou to the Committee for all your hard work throughout the year to produce another successful conference. It's wonderful being part of the comaraderie and fun, and to leave feeling appreciated and feted! Special thanks again to Narelle for your help on Thursday, and to C...

Love it! Great idea

I'll be looking for one too (and maybe a suggestion for some sleevless ones in future, for those of us out in the heat!)

Am so looking forward to seeing you all next week - woo-hoo

Kimmy, would love to hear more about that free shuttle bus. Tried googling it, but no luck so far....

Hi linotas and Narelle, I've been researching this too, as am flying down & back instead of driving, so a first for me this year. It costs $16.20 ($32.40 return) from the airport to Central. However, if we were originating the journey at Central and bought return tickets for a station further al...

There's a few that come up in the side menu - am getting to know that tune quite well....

Clever teacher setting that as an assignment!

The latest preproom.org newsletter included this gem:

Check it out!

Hi Noona dear, So glad to hear you're 'staying over' this year - great idea! :thumbup: Not sure of my plans yet, but will let you know after the flier arrives :mail: and I've asked for the time off. I'd love the chance to sit and talk to you, and soak up some of your enthusiasm. 2 weeks today till I...

Have done some research on Graham Crackers - They are more like a crispbread, similar to a cruskit in texture. A rectangular-shaped, whole-wheat cracker that has been sweetened with honey or molasses. Check out this site for some photos: http://www.fotosearch.com/photos-images/graham-cracker.html Su...

Hi Julie,

I bought a set of cleaning tips from BOC when I was at Tamworth High, especially for cleaning bunsens. You'd be able to get them from plumbing suppliers or hardware stores.

Also, try doing a search on here for cleaning bunsens or fixing bunsens.

Have fun!

Wendy, try Laura at THS. They used to have some Hach pillows in Chemstore when I was there, but am not sure they are the same as what you're looking for...

We used the platinum electrodes from an old voltameter, which fitted the u-tube (small) perfectly.

Oh, noona dear, it's so good to have you back! Hope the work routine makes it easier for you to readjust to life without Bob beside you. :coffee: I'm really looking forward to hearing more about your plans for travelling Oz (and have no doubt that he will be there every step of the way, nudging you ...

Try doing a search on this site, David. Lots of ideas have been given in the past.

Google rabbit abbatoirs? We get our plucks from our local sheep abbatoir. Also just about anything else we request, though often get bullock's eyes from the beef abbatoir as the teachers prefer the larger ones. Pigs eye's are the closest to human eyes, if you can find a local abbatoir that processes...
