I do believe that to be true. That is why no one will go to Science if you are away or sick. All the SAO in this school are busy trying each others job, in case of something, our new principal's idea, but I do not have to learn some one else job, because of OH&S etc etc. From our network meeting...

Its Monday morning, and I think we all need a hugh pat on the back, from each other. I'll see how things pan out this week, keep going. to you all.

Pour it into a large evaperateing basin, leave over the weekend, in a fume cupboard, or some where safe. Collect the crystal's and put in a bottle, this can be used for Year 7 growing crystals, Heat in a little water, your dried out crystals, and grow crystals again, and again, and again. Ours just ...

After I wrote "Having a very bad day" I had thought it was a very silly idea, but you all have been so helpful, and Richard again you are right. So I'll have a good think over the weekend, been to the Doc's he said keep going.

Thank you everyone you have help't me

I finally got around to doing the Rubber stoppers, and would like to say they did come so very well. Well worth it all. Not quite back to new, but nice and soft.

Well Done Richard

I had a flexi day yesterday, and have decided not to do any more flexi days. Too much work to caught up on, if you have a day off. Sick or flexi, work so hard to get every thing ready to have a day off. And come back to so much more work, I really think it's time I changed jobs, with a bad ankle sin...

starch will only be any good after you have made it, for THREE 3 DAYS. So it needs to be made fresh.

Courtney, I believe you in Tas do not use the CSIS, but again, their is talk we may go nation wide with CSIS, but that could take years.

Try Haines in VIC, we had the same thing with water testing kits. Still they would not give us the names of the chemcials.

From the bible page 183 Paraffin Max CAS no 8002-74-2 safe for K-12.

Harmless. Used for melting point curves. Note: Fumes of paraffin wax considered to be Hazardous, (CAS No. 8002-74-2). When heating use a well-ventilated area.

Thank you for the copy of q-stores spill kits.

The powder is called Absorbent sachets, they can come in different sizes, At St Marys they said they would be for sale in Jan 2008. It almost March and Q-stores are unsure, when they will come into stock.

Have nice weekend

Yes the matchboxes, Home brand is cheaper but they brake far too easly. So we have gone for redheads. We had a part time helper, and she covered the boxes in contact, of course not the flint sides. ANd I must say the did last a lot longer, and they do make it harder to burn. Again it is up to the te...

PLease may I also have a copy from last years q-stores. My fax number is 9823 7662 attn Sue in Science. Thank you.

Try ringing Q-stores, and would you be so kind as to let us know. One solid item in the spills kit would be much better. I would also like to know the name of the snake like thingo, that contains the spill. Sorry about the snake like thingo,

Hi Teresa, We did have training in how to use Chemwatch, way back when, but funny as this may sound, NO one really knew how to use it, it ws trail and error. Our local network meetings, ended up as a work shop to help each other out. Each school was given, DET schools that is was given $500.00 for s...

Hi Lada, The link failed because we can not put web sites on this forum. These are the rules of the forum.

If you really do wish to get rid of them. Why not put a list on Chemtalk, and perhaps other people may like them. Instead of throwing them away.

How very very true.

After re-reading you note, perhaps you mean disposal of the speciemens them self??? Check with a Vet they may be able to help.

Sorry i may have misreading your note.

In NSW the CSIS package states, we can use Methylated Spirits 50% and 50% distilled water, for Preserved Items. Clean a jar, or container, we sterlised them, in milton tablets. Drain the Formaldehyde into a waste jar, to keep for collection. Pat dry the item, snake etc, put in clean container, and f...
