Wow quadrats, Teacher cannot remember what she used last year and considering I was here and I told her what we had she was not impressed. We had wooden squares, with bolts and nuts in corners, that could be collapsed and have had since I started here. She said this year that they were not acceptable as they need to be thrown over the head backwards rather than placed, in order to get a random result. So I have one test one with glued corners and another that I have filled in the holes and am going to attempt to screw together and am planning to try a couple of other ways with the existing ones. Just need to raid the workshop tomorrow to see if they have some pipe to see if that will satisfy.

How is throwing them any different to randomly placing them on the ground? Weird teacher.
We have rigid metal ones but they are the pits for field work so we had some collapsable ones (PVC pipe with elbow joints) "made"

Seen some of the student throw them, its repair and retape up every time, it does not matter which ones we get, its always repair before we put away.
Sorry but some Teachers do not look after the equipment, to them its our job, so just throw.
