Hi,

I believe the "Traineships" are for all SASS in DET schools. Check with the Principal of your school. You will do a small amount of Admin work, and then Science.

Good Luck

Should it be done for all electric items, or just all items??? Or any thing that does not get used often. Would we need to do one for Power packs?...

Thermometers stored Vertically

Morning everyone. After reading all about thermometers, we are now going to store all our Thermometers vertically. May I ask people, on any tips in which they store their Thermometers. Glass Jar's, may crash and brake. Plastic jars, may fall over, not very strong. I would welcome any tips. Regards
