Rubens Tube

Good morning
We are hoping to purchase a Rubens Tube but I am having trouble sourcing them. Has anyone purchased one recently and if so, where did you get it from?
Thanks
Kathryn :)

Re: Do you use a diary?

I use one but I guess I'm a bit old fashioned and I like to be able to easily see the day/week/month. (I still use a paper calendar for personal use). I use an everyday diary which works fine.

Re: Bromine

I'd be reluctant to have bromine around - bromine water is horrible enough.

Sodium benzoate papers are apparently safer.

Re: Chemicals not sold by Westlab or other common suppliers

Think I would be giving the teacher a list of chemicals that you actually have - only buy new things in if they are going to be used regularly.

trundle wheel

Has anyone bought a trundle wheel recently? If so are you happy with it? We bought 2 a year ago. When I got them out to use recently I discovered both of them have lost the clicking mechanisms. No idea where or when - no doubt down on the field somewhere, and not reported at the time.

Is this the one you bought? Is it easy to undo to store flat?

Re: Flame Test

We do flame test (paddle pop method) for the Yr 7 orientation. They have a bunch of older students in the class with them. They do 4 mystery chemicals which they have to work out what they are. We find it a great but simple prac to get them excited about doing science the next year.

Portable Fume hood

Hi all Does anyone have a portable fume hood and if so would you recommend it? We have one built in fume cupboard but with the larger chemistry classes we now have, it is slow going for the students to have their turn. Therefore we are wondering if a portable / ductless fume cupboard would ease the ...
