Re: Alloy Prac
Yes thanks, its hard to find something not messy (crucibles), the lead shot is a bit of a concern for fumes. I appreciate your input.

Re: Alternative to Chemwatch?
There is a workshop on Chemgold 3 at ASET's PD day on 17th Sept at Sydney Grammar. It will be a hands on event on how to best use the site. I don't have any problems with it ( DET Sydney) & i'm a techniphobe. I keep my stores manifest in Chemwatch so that I'm up to date with any re-classificatio...

resistors
Can I get some advice regarding wattage limits to use across some single resistors ( the little ones from an electronics store all under 100ohms).The component label suggests 0.5W,however, we have just purchased some new resistors but they burn out very easily when the students give them too much ju...

human pathogens in agar plates
Does anyone know the DET's current policy on incubating agar plates which may grow human pathogens ie. the students coughing, spitting etc on plates. I am under the impression that it is not good practice but my HT wishes to do this with Biology class.She feels sealing all around with sticky tape so...

Re: How much are we supposed to do?
I pretty much do all those things and lots of admin jobs for them, although I did draw the line at typing the exams for them . the previous lab assistant here was office trained and could type well - I'm not that good! I guess even though you are being used you do learn to develop lots of extra skil...

Re: Chemwatch gold
Hi Dee, I have recently encountered this problem when I attempted to use CG2 to make labels. Upon enquiries at my school it seems that no one has been advised that we now have to log in with user name and password. I previously worked in Catholic schools where this was everyday practice. I have emai...

Hi all, I'm a newbie at this site and would appreciate your expertise with a couple of things. Firstly with the upgrade of our labs next year we need to shift our chemical store and I've been unable to find out the specifications for an extraction fan for the refit on DET website. We are also going ...
