Stroboscope
Morning Brains trust, Just wondering if anyone in NSW schools uses a Stroboscope with the current Physics syllabus. Ours isn't working, if it is worth getting fixed or buying a new one, when budgets are pretty tight at the moment. I have never had it out of the cupboard in 27 years! Thanks in advance.

Re: Chemical store Room
But I have to admit, just looking at the map of your general store makes my head spin. Is each section a shelf? How do you ever find anything :? [/quote] Yes each section is a shelf, it's habit now. Plus I have a copy of Register on the door, both in classification order and alphabetical. The last t...

Re: Junket is Dangerous
that's so funny!!. Although about ten years ago you couldn't buy Junket tablets. If you could manage to get them at Coles they were behind the front counter where the cigarettes are, because they were being purchases in large amounts to cut drugs with. Although you could buy junket powder from a hea...
