Hi Tracy,
When you read the document you will see H2SO4 and sugar is a teacher dem in the fumehood.
Banned expts is a loose title as some can be done in a fumehood by the teacher.
The document pre-dates CSIS by several years.
Our school does not have scanning ability...I know,unbelievable!!!

I am very surprised to see that the H2SO4 and sugar prac is actually banned given that in CSIS appendix F this reaction is described as ''useful" but to do it in a fume cupboard as a demo.

Lorrae,
the document states that sugar and acid can be done as a teacher dem in the fumehood...this applies to others on the sheet.
Everyone please read carefully and remember the document pre-dates CIS by about 15yrs.....I have been a lab assistant for 19yrs.
Use the document as a giude and remember your HOD can over rule however when he does you are not responsible for any disasters

I'm awaiting a reply from Richard Morante. He's the Senior Curriculum Adviser for Science yrs K-12 in NSW for the DET. If there is a current document available (for NSW) regarding what we can and cannot do then I'm sure he'd know of it. I'll post it as soon as anything is made available.

The DET and Workcover NSW websites have nothing that I can see.

Surely it would be some where in the CSIS, Richard? If the chemcial is banned then any experiments with the substance in is also banned. Surely, or perhaps I am on the wrong track???

True, but I'm looking at it from the point of view of things we are allowed to keep that cannot be used together in a banned experiment. CSIS will not show this.

In QLD and WA a manual that is endoresed by the deaprtments of education (in WA the health dept and minning dept. also have a hand in it) has stated in them banned substances and pracs. Do the other states not also have such a manual?
