So easy and efficient. As pa...

Re: Living specimens allowed in schools?
We are about to breed fruit flies for genetics. I was wondering the same thing but after correspondence with the Dept of Primary Industries, the fruit flies you can buy from Southern Biological are fine as long as you don't breed the "true" fruit fly which originates from QLD.

Microscope repair / training
Hi everyone,
Two questions
1. Can anyone advise me of a microscope repairer that is willing to come to a small country town and not cost my yearly budget
and
2. Is there anywhere I can get training in microscope repair so I can do my own microscopes.
Thanks in advance
Donna

Calling Labbies from VIC
Hi everyone,
I have just started a new job in Bendigo. I'm finding being in VIC a totally different environment than NSW where I have just moved from. I need some advice on some things. If there are any VIC labbies who can help me out can you drop me a message.
Thank you
Donna

Re: Ideas for Yr 3 science club
Hi Sharon, Another really easy but effective one is bread clip boats. Fill a shallow dish with milk, gently place the bread clip on the surface. In the hole of the clip drop a drop of food colouring and a drop of detergent. Then just sit back and watch your boats speed off. Boat races are a good hit...

Calcium sulfate - ppt???
Hi,
We are doing the HSC ion testing prac and we cannot get CaSO4 to ppt. We have tried a range of concentrations of cation and anion (0.1-1M).
The flame test works fine and the BaSO4 precipitates just fine...
Is there a trick to precipitating calcium sulfate?
