Hi everyone
I have noticed that on one of my prepared slides the cover slip is smashed.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem or am I better off just tossing this one.
Cheers Nicky

Sometimes I get half days notice; if its an easy prac to set up ie. no solutions to make up then I will happily do it. My teachers are great and...

Red Cabbage Indicator
Hi Vicki
Perhaps you could try beetroot juice, red wine, cold tea, liquid obtained by boiling geraniums, purple violets or blue hydrangeas. These alternatives were in the Jacaranda Science Book2 page 61.
Hope this helps

Scientific Display
Hi all
I have been asked to set up a science display in one of the labs. It can be anything to do with science. Does anyone have any great ideas that maybe you have set up at your school.
