Hi Krisha,
I work in private school in Collaroy and will be retiring beginning of next year. It will be a full time position. Any thoughts?I have not resigned yet so the position is not available to be advertise.

Re: Phenyl salicylate and crystal formation.
I am with you, Smiley.
We do very similar prac. With new national curriculum, there are a lot of new pracs, but some totally unsuitable for yr 7-8.
Example Iodine with alcohol.
What's wrong with oldies but goodies

Re: Phenyl salicylate and crystal formation.
If its yr 8 I would talk to teacher. We always use safer (or at least recommended) chemicals. If anything goes wrong you would feel terrible.
Yr 10 is almost there, but nit yr8.
I would be very skeptical even using the iodine crystals, as it is also yr11-12chemical.
Good luck

I went through chemwatch ffx and the label for 0.1M lead nitrate was exactly the same with the 3 warning pictograms, but does not have DG9.

Re: New Science Lab?
Thanks David,
that is was we were hoping for, but stainless steel "looks so much better". Yah, while is new. I have an old sink and its rusting due to kids dropping bits of metals in it.
Will push for ceramic

Re: Ammonia solution 18%
If bucket chemistry is good enough dilute 100ml of ammonia to 900ml of water.

I put them upside down, but I also put the sticky tape around the lid in 4 separate strips with about 3cm gap between them.

Re: reactivity of metals
Potassium is banned in NSW schools and lithium is demo only, so our school is using Na only.
