Love my Westlab Equip. no breakage

Firstly we are in stage 3 where I am so no plates atm. I ALWAYS pretend we have grown the plague and act accordingly. A microbiologist came in to talk to our students once and told me human viruses need blood agar to grow. Most of our growths are mould, bacteria, and fungi. Yes we are still going a...

I feel like I'm constantly asking for reassurance this year. We have year 10 student research projects being done at home. Our HT has given the okay for microbiology to be done at home students purchasing agar plates from companies etc., some of the disposal methods and techniques are less than favo...

Hi Brains Trust,

We are looking for Graduate Teachers for Science next year.

Can anyone help us out? past students that you know are finishing Uni, or 1st, 2nd year out that are looking for a country change.

Waiting with hope! Please pm

Okay Brains Trust, We are a non-agricultural High School. I've got a teacher wanting to purchase a Bee Hive, with no prior experience but willing to learn! My automatic response is no, with not only teachers and students being alergic to Bees and little reference to syslabus apart from pollination. ...

I get mine from Hains Educational

I would love a copy of the guidlines if you can find it. Just looking at the Science Assist at the moment, will need to compress down and adapt to our school I think they'll never read all that information. I'll pm you

Thanks

Yeah sorry, private school and meant Standard Operating Procedure, doing other policies and procedures at the moment as well. I'm doing cert lV W.H & S for School, so I can incorporate into my course. I'll have a look at the Science Assist. With the increase in teen suicide and self harm, really...

Hi Brains Trust,

Just wondering if anyone has a Science Disection Policy they would like to share. I'm trying to put one together, making sure I haven't missed anything.

Cheers

We use NeuLog from Westlab so easy to use. NOT BEING PAID. LOL

Hi Brains trust, Just wondering what everybody is doing in regards to Microbiology in the current climate. As we all know every precaution can be taken but kids will be kids and not all teachers manage the same. Are you going to be using agar plates, incubating etc., with Junior/Senior classes, done...

I just jumped on that link, it's the first time I've been able to access that information without having a login. Although haven't tried for awhile, must have decided us independent/catholic school can have access. wow

I hear you!! and who knows

I have the support of two other teachers who will be refusing to do it, and are willing to take further. It was to be done with the entire yr.10 under Genetics.

I'll let you know if anything happens.

Thanks again everyone.

I've passed on higher, as I'm not being told the whole story, because it would be known I would take it further. Either way I will not be having anything to do with it. Thanks everyone

that is the head teacher lol

fertilized eggs to the point of heart beat, then?? then cracking into a sterilised jar!! we aren't a DET school the moral battleground is what worries me. Other teachers are already horrified, this is how they expect to get around the animals in school ledgislation, (not yet an animal). Not sure if...

Hi brains trust, I'm aware the laws are different for each state, however in NSW can we have a Egg incubator for hatching chickens and other pracs., re fertilized eggs to the point of heart beat, then?? We are not an Ag school, do we have to abide by the Animals in Schools ledgislation and require a...

This is probably a really stupid question! but if you don't ask you'll never know.

Once Silver Chloride has oxidised is there anyway you can bring it back?

Thanks
