Re: Labelling - Warning triangels

Yes Robb i am aware of this but find the students respond to info better if there are pictures or symbols. So being sneaky, to get them to look at info i am going to use the yellow triangle/squares to get their attention and get them to take some info without their knowledge :). It is all about gett...

It is in brussell sprouts so those people who like brussel sprouts can't taste the PTU and those who don't like brussel sprouts can taste it.
