Thanks!
I think we could all start a store room for "things we don't use anymore, but on the off chance someone wants to do it one day".

Found tablets these in stocktake...same as before, anyone know what they are?

THANKS!

Thank you- that helps a lot!!!

so that makes me feel really good as put down my tea cup, look up at the fluro lights above my head and wait for the pandaol to kick in for the headache i got....
hmmmmm

As to the Sudan III i had never heard of it til i started this stock take

hi All,
doing stocktake and found these tablets "Buffer tablets Ph7 Phosphate"

Can someone pls tell me what they are..and on the CSIS are they H N/H & what colour dot they should have

BIG thanks !!!

Thats the really silly thing - office max prices a slightly higher than if I was to go to Big W for eg. Contact or balloons or blu tak foam cups, all the consumables that we use a lot....we are on strict budgets so whuy can't we shop around? I have been using petty cash to purchase small amounts to ...

Thanks for that Noona, I will let the teacher know!

if the lipsof the beakers chip, leaving sharp edges, you can 'melt' the sharp edges down by holding them over the bunsen...gives them a bit longer life...

So i will be keeping the ones i found 'in the ark' for a bit longer, nothing much breaks them...

Ammoniun nitrate is available from Q stores...office max whatever the heck it is called now...
(well it is in their chemical section)

we have very little of it left....and it looks like we have had it since the school opened...
One of the chem teachers LOVES it LOL, they all have their favs!

I have been asked to prepare a prac that uses amonuim nitrate that produces cold packs. The only prob is that it is for year 8, and ammonium nitrate is not suitable t according to the CSIS for year 8s. Has anyone done this prac, and can you recomend another chem to use that is safe for year 8? Thank...

I feel very enlightened now.
I love the things we are asked to do sometimes!!!!

The shower curtain was further down the thinkgeek website, as another suggested item. AND I just saw the Pi ice cube trays which it hink iw ould also like. :giggle: esp since i am first aid here... :rolleyes: I could give them a maths lesson as well as an ice pack!!!! \:D/ Oh dear, you can tell its ...

Congrats!!!

but like you, i would have no idea either!!! HAHAHA!

But enjoy when you get it running!

Sad, but clearly she was not so smart...smoking in the car while carrying chemicals...????
And she also was carrying it in the front on the seat....she was almost doomed from the start!

what if we were able to buy the beaker mugs whilst at conference. I am sure that the buying power of the conference would be a bit stronger than an individual. If we ordered say 300 beaker mugs and sold them to cover costs (i am sure people would buy one for them, and one or 2 for their department) ...

I also googled them - they look so great! maybe we could see if we could get them for the science conf this year, that way a larger order will be cheaper for freight etc. I was also amused at the sites other gifts....the periodic table shower curtain - thats a must have for any safety shower :giggle:

Thank you!
Found it....

now its time for
