Re: Ordering for Practical Lessons
Jumping in on an old thread here... Just wondering who still prints out the RAs if you use RiskAssess? Also, a thought on NSW DoE not needing to do RAs because of the CSIS, how many teachers actually reference the CSIS when ordering their pracs? Do they check each time that the chemical hasn't been ...

Re: Slowing down agar plate growth?
Are you able to take a photo of them for him? or one of the teachers? The only potential "problem" I can think of would be if condensation formed inside it might go a little weird... are there other plates in the incubator? Can you just turn it down to whatever the lowest setting is or wil...

Re: What is a product you always wished you could see in the lab?
What is a product you always wished you could see in the lab? (open to your suggestions) My one wish is to be able to buy glass tubing that I know will fit into the rubber tubing I've bought. Same with bungs - knowing which size you need for the test tubes you're buying. Or better yet, ready made s...

Re: Wider Borosilicate Tubes
I like the 25x150mm ones for heating etc. but I have also recently bought micro test tubes for the chemical reactions. they will only need a few drops instead of a few cm to see the results.

Re: cutting contact
I usually use the 21 stickers/sheet so that's fine. I am looking into getting some! I've got the admin lady looking up where she can get the best deal

Re: cutting contact
Buy the Avery heavy duty labels and you don't need contact. I know, bit late now but worth the cost. I don't think it will ruin the blade of the guillotine, but I'm not sure it will happily cut it. It could be tricky. And Macca - the sticky tape. My predecessor used sticky tape and it is so difficu...

cutting contact
Hi all, This is a fairly random question, but I'm just wondering if anyone on here has used a guillotine to cut contact to size for covering dropper bottle labels etc? Does it wreck the blade? I usually just use scissors because I'm not doing many at a time but I'm about to label 60 droppers and hav...

Re: Wheatstone bridge
yes bigmack, ours are slightly different but essentially the same thing. I think I will toss them. I just wanted to check there wasn't one random prac they came out for in an obscure topic area before I ditch them.

Wheatstone bridge
Does anyone know what Wheatstone bridges are/were used for? None of our current teachers think they will use them so I'm hoping to get rid of them. Sorry I tried to attach a photo but it was too large.

printers
Do you have your own printer for science? What type do you have? Does it come out of the school's technology budget or the science budget? Who keeps on top of ordering the ink for it? I currently have to walk to the other end of the school to print a label if I make up a new concentration or just wa...

Do a search for peppercorn on here. I can't remember the details but you can get something out of soaking/boiling peppercorns to grow on plates.

Re: gauze mats with solid centre
Yeah, I thought the point of the gauze mat itself was for heat distribution... I could only think if it was something that needed a gentler heat.... We have a heap of them in a box, brand new. I also have new normal mats coming soon. Maybe I can get the teachers to do an experiment with half the cla...
