Hi Sammy, Just keep on asking for help when ever needed and remember they are the teachers and they normally ask you because they dont know how to do something so dont feel stupid or incapable as they are qualified teachers. Well thats what I keep on telling myself if i get in a pickle but im lucky ...

hi there Sam, Just remember if you can not get to clean it straight away put them in the freezer till you can get around to washing them up - it avoids a smelly prep room. I trick I learnt after a smellllly prep room left for a weekend by mistake from a teacher. welcome to the wondeful world of Lab ...

we use white paint trays with 10 and 12 holes in them which we purchased from Qstores quiet some time ago. They work fine for many differnt experiments throughout the year and are very cheap. hope this is of some help to you.

If you go to any sort of get togethers with other Labbies :coffee: . I claim some of my home internet :mail: . In general you taxation person should let you know wha...

I have a phone in my preproom and one in the science Staff room and will have one in the prep room once the update of the new lab happens. I dont think the teachers could work without the phone to the prep room as we have labs on a different level. Sometimes I do wish there was no phone in the prep ...

I have lots of ways to do it off the internet but was wondering if there was any tried and tested best ways of doing it. we are going to try this so any ideas would be great :thumbup: . Could be quiet fun but qui...

We must be all up to doing the same.
I searched last week for my St marys red booklet and found it so that we could make this also. If you need a copy just give email address and ill email you a copy.

Put them in the freezer then just break the wax off. A bit time consuming but works .

KIMMY

Just make sure you let the local fire men know what you are up to. They do let off a lot of smoke. We did this for our year 12 break up a couple of years ago. Just our of kindness let the approapriate people know whats going on.

Be carefull and weigh up is it worth it in the long run using such a strong acid.



KIMMY

As long as I have a job these days I think that is the main thing and I tell people the easiest way to explain what I do is that I am the school Science Assistant and I think that covers what I do. We can all try to have a large fancy name but as long as we have a name, a JOB, and do what is require...

Had a great break and now fresh for a new term

Hope you all had a good break.

We use both paper towels, tea towels and hand towels. I wash towels and tea towel weekly to fortnightly depending on washing amount. If i did not use hand towels I am sure that I would be washing ever day or so. I dont know how you can go without having paper towel in a lab. KIMMY Happy Easter to AL...
