Re: Banana plugs
"I also discovered that the type of wire you use can make a difference as to how well the plugs remain attached to the wire." Merilyn - what wire do you use? I have so many different types of wire in my stock :-( I have loads of bell wire - single strand wire, which is terrible when used f...

Re: Penicillin (
One of my teachers will be doing it as a demo - piece of sticky tape to pick up the mould from a piece of bread in a Ziploc bag. She'll put the tape on a slide so they can look at it under the microscope.

Re: GHS Posters and Pictogram Stickers
I have not had any luck finding GHS posters. A3 printouts, although useful, are still pretty difficult to read. I can't find anything anywhere - Safework NSW, Safework Australia, ASET, Comcare, WorkCover - as well as all the usual suppliers... Can anyone send me in the right direction?

Re: Reversible Reactions Prac?
According to Risk Assess, the Cobalt chloride, at 1M, is ok for Seniors, it's an orange dot.
CSIS says it's okay for 7-12, so a green dot.
Am I reading that wrong?

At half the cost of the old black ones, also from Serrata!

Re: Dropper bottle teats
I bought some black teats from Livingstone last year. Product code PDRT10, but they are not very cheap, at over 50c each! Guess it is still better for the environment, less overall wastage.

Are they the old red ones, Lyn? I still have some of those and they are a LOT better than the new blue type.

Re: Measuring Cylinders
I agree - they have been a disaster. Waste of money and time. Stay with the old, tried and tested! The bases come off easily and then seem to stretch or shrink, can't get them back on!

Re: amylase colour code
To take up Kathryn's comment about Nickel II chloride - RiskAssess has classified it as Teacher Only until a dilution of 0.19M, along with a very long list of warnings. Yr 11 and 12 can use it at 0.008 - 0.077M. Yr 7-12 - it's safe to use when less than 0.008M. According to Safe Work Australia: Nick...

We have just subscribed to RiskAssess and I am planning to do the same thing. Looks like it will take a lot longer than I thought!

Re: Uses for starch packing beads
I have also collected boxes and think I need to throw some away too! Would love to pass them on to someone who needs them but it's just too much effort. A drop of iodine turns black - shows the starch content. Great idea I picked up from a website was to help you when hammering a nail into a piece o...

Re: Whiteboard Erasers
I bought some of those by mistake and most staff didn't like them, they are too small! (the same size as a mouse - as in the device to move the cursor!) They're better for a small whiteboard, not a big classroom whiteboard. Good luck!

Re: Whiteboard Erasers
OfficeMax Magnetic Whiteboard & Chalkboard Eraser, Code: 2285215
OfficeMax Whiteboard Eraser Pad Refill, Pack of 6, Code: 1482440
Hope they're better than what you are currently using, which might be the Quartet brand you can also get from OfficeMax?

Re: Whiteboard Erasers
We get the OfficeMax brand magnetic ones as well as the boxes of refills for them. The teachers don't replace the pad often enough and sometimes just ask for a new eraser! But the erasers do generally last a year or two. On the subject, we have found the best whiteboard markers are Artline 577 - the...

Good question, linotas.
Labbie, excuse my ignorance, but how would French Polishing be related to science?
