Hi,Does anyone know,
Will there be anyone to talk/join from the ASET group. This will be handy so that we can ask questions etc.
Maybe a desk with the rep's from the science company's?????
Would be handy to gain members and for those who don't know much about the organisation..
Thanks Trish.

Re: Can you reheat Sodium tetraborate?
Yes I usually collect the crystals that form in the bottom of the beaker, allow to dry and reuse the next time we make borax crystals.
Though i must admit that the used borax i add more to the beaker than the first time use, just to be sure it works.

Re: Ammonium nitrate
I'm in Taree, but I'd hate to borrow and never be able to replace it.
Well looks like we can't have that prac anymore. The teachers can surely come up with something else. I am looking into the instant ice packs, So far, most are ammonium nitrate free.
Thanks, Trish

Re: corn flour speaker monster
when we do this sometimes you just have to play with the corn flour at first, sometimes the runnier works best and sometimes a little dry. so spend the time with that. And while you test it just play with the tempo/ audio settings on the sound generator. Thats how we always set it up, but as i said ...

As a Prac one of my teachers does is they make pizzas. But they book out a home ec room for this and they have to arrange the toppings as the cell. To make it better the kids have to bring in the toppings so they have to do the thinking!
