Are you in need of equipment and chemicals for your laboratory?

Teachers often complain that they do not have chemicals and/or equipment. This is a reminder - once again - that:

1)  The physical science and natural science HODs and teachers are responsible to know what they have and what they need.

2)  Inform your principal and SMT about your needs in order to budget - these items are part of what we call LTSM.

3)  Depending on the category of school you are (Section 21, etc.), you have to get the procurement process on the way.

4)  The equipment provided through subject advisers to schools is a bonus; it is not the rule. Staff members at schools must see that laboratories are functional in order to do practical work.

Earlier this year a post has appeared on this blog (click here for the post) with contact details of Edutrade.

Browse Edutrade's website and send them an enquiry about prices, etc. Start the process to make practical work more effective. You have to initiate the process. Lastly; don't assume chemicals are "old". Test them and see whether they still do what they intend to do.

Do you need apparatus and chemicals?

Edutrade gave a lot of support to the Free State Education Department in the past. All the kits that were distributed to schools in 2013 were supplied by Edutrade.

Feel free to contact them at this web address for a complete catalogue, with contact details, if you need apparatus, chemicals, etc. It is important that school management teams budget for this in order to make teaching and learning of physical science more effective. Edutrade can be contacted at 012 665 3933.

Plan ahead and don't run out of apparatus and chemicals!!
