Re: OctoCam!
Thanks Xenon,
I have seen it a few times, it's pretty big.
Here's another link for animal watchers. Living in S.A., this one's a favourite.

Re: Test Tagging of electrical equipment?
Well Ian, You've got me combing through all the legislation at the moment, as I had never heard of a "relaxing of the rules". Also, I'm in another state, so that makes a huge difference. I do the electrical testing for the Science area at my school, and was sent to a course by the school t...

Re: Teacher declarations
Maree, I must say, I had never given this much thought until I read your post. I call my children 'pet' names, including 'darl' and 'sweet', but I rarely say these things to anyone else. I have people around me here at my school though, that call me sweety or love, and I think nothing of it. I also ...

Hi Maria,
Macca posted a fairly gory one recently. You can find it in 'Staff Tea Room', and the forum is called "I didn't think they needed to". About half way down the list.

Re: What water distiller/deioniser should I buy?
Hi All, I couldn't be happier with my water distiller. I got it earlier this year. It does 4 litres at a time, in three and a half hours, no waste at all, and you just turn it on and forget it. It turns itself off. It cost about $380, and comes with spare filters, and a special cleaning agent to cle...

When you don't want to throw it away.....
Hi All, Does anyone have any contacts for sending excess equipment/books etc. to underpriviledged schools, either in Australia, or overseas. I'm due for a 'reno' next year, and have started the purging process. Of course, I have offered my 'excess' stuff around, but I am finding others in the same b...

I am also doing my chem register at the moment, and I've noticed formaldehyde is still approved ...

vlclabbie,
There is probably a logical explanation, but I couldn't help noticing you said your brother in law is getting married to one of your best friends. Shouldn't he already be married to your sister .........or shouldn't I ask!!!

Hi All, I don't do anything here, but at my old school, one of the teachers used to collect any science related stories out of the newspapers, and put them on a series of notice boards in the corridor. Each one was dedicated to a different subject, eg. Space, Earth science, Electronics, Geology etc....

Re: Finally, What does Robb Look Like..
To those wondering why there are no photos,
Robb only left the original photos on the forum for a short time, due to privacy reasons, as his family was in the photo.
Robb,
I'm always interested in putting faces to names, so I would like to see any photos you put up.
Cheers,
Lisa

Should I just incorporate it as part of the stock register (which I am re-doing also) so I have the cost of every item covered, or just put the mo...
