Hi Ian

I think I found most of the links by googling (environmental grants) and then click on the link for grants and funding home page and also search the ABC site.

One of the teachers has the responsibilty for this, but we are a small school with only around 70 high school students, so it is not really a big job

Hi all We bought some refillable markers at the beginning of last year from Scientrific. They are about $35 for the starter kit I think. As far as I know the teacher using them has only filled the black one once so far. As we are focusing on environmentally sustainable practises at our school these ...

Hi all I am at a district high which means that primary areas come and borrow some equipment so I have to have enough for them as well but in terms of high school students there is only at most 90. Unfortunately to buy 1 bottle of any chemical is the same price initally so although I dont go through...

Hi all I am particularly lucky in that I only have one class of each year at my school. But in addition to this the science teachers runs 4 -5 different topics in the year 10 class and I only work 11.25 hours a week. (I have just had my allocation cut by 6 hours). The other reason that I am lucky is...

Hi Just to let you know. I asked about making nutrient agar last year and got many tips that were very useful. i used one of the recipes on this thread and the microwave for sterilizing and it was cheap and easy to do. The thread is on Chemistry and General forum page 2 - the last post was Aug last ...

Hi everyone Dolphinscales, sorry I have no answers for you but would like to add to your thread of asking for help. I have a couple of microscopes that wont completely focus. Ie the stage is wound all the way up and you can see the slide but it is not quite in focus. Is this something I can fix myse...

Hi I addition to this question about focal lengths. I have a heap of lenses that the focal length is not known and before I update our stock wanted to see what we actually had. Is there a simple method to determine this? I'm sure there is but as it is a long time since I did any physics I can't reme...

Hi Lis

If you call them and they can get you the data sheets can you either send me a copy or let me know so that I can get some as well as we have quite a good collection but some info to go with them would be useful.

Hi all Good to hear so many others trying to look after the evironment. i am so lucky to work with a science co-ord who is very pro-environment and she has just successfully applied for the solars schools grant to solar power our school and another grant from a large company to assist with this and ...

Thanks for the additional tips. As soon as I get a chance this term to practise I will have a go at some of these ideas

Hi Rhonda

Thanks for that, sometimes the easiest answer is really obvious once someone points it out to you lol.

Hi

I have a turtle pelvic bone that I have broken in 2 and I was wondering if anyone knows what a suitable adhesive to fix this would be as it is unlikely that I will get another one.

Hi

I am lucky enough to be friends with a prawn trawler skipper and he gives me some bycatch so perhaps you could find someone in a similar industry and see if they can help you.
