Hi everyone,

 

I am looking for a shop that sells equipment suitable for the range of experiments to be done at gcse (14-16 yrs old). I'm 26 and retaking my gcse science and would really appreciate some help! So any suggestions of shops that sell basic science equiment would be really helpful!

 

thanks

Marc

is one of the main suppliers for UK educational facilities (I got my 1`st catalogue from a Lab Tech at college).

 

they won`t sell you any Chems though, but you May be able to get the College to do that for you

Beakers, flasks, stirring rods, lab bottles and the rest of glassware I get cheaper from ebay. The quality may not be the best but as long as it can withstand >500°C and has a decent accuracy for measurement it should be fine for that science level and even some more advanced stuff, so I'd def. recommend you try ebay (http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&catref=C6&from=R10&submitsearch=Search&satitle=&sacat=26231%26catref%3DC6&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=ZIP%2FPostal&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=2%26fsoo%3D2&coaction=compare&copagenum=1&coentrypage=search )

ok guys thanks for your useful suggestions....it's really hard getting hold of the chemicals! It's so difficult if you want to revist your eduication and try to improve!
