As a child, one of the very best times at school is when a field trip is arranged so you can break free of the shackles of the classroom. However with childrens safety at the forefront of every parents and educators minds, this article look at how modern technology can make school field trips as safe as possible.
School field trips are a great experience for children as it gives them the chance to see exciting places and take it sights and sounds that are not available from a text book or DVD. It is for this reason that school field trips provide our children with such a buzz of excitement. However, field trips can also be a logistical nightmare for teachers as controlling several children in unfamiliar surroundings can be a difficult and stressful experience.
So with childrens safety paramount, schools, nurseries and colleges alike can now take advantage of modern technology to make the school field trip is as safe and enjoyable as possible.
With the vast majority of people in the western world now being familiar with cell or mobile phone technology, staying in touch has never been easier. However, mobile or cell phones often suffer from a lack of coverage, short battery lives and they certainly incur ongoing costs which mean they are not a viable option for schools and teachers who want a portable communication method in which to stay in touch whilst away from school on field trips.
Schools can however now take advantage of modern Two Way Radios like the Kenwood TK3201 which allows teachers and teaching assistants to stay in touch both in the school itself and whilst away on trips and visits. With no rental charges, no call charges, long battery lives and a robust and reliable way to stay in touch, both at the school premises itself and on field trips, Two Way Radio is a must for any school with a focus on security, communication and safety.
Gone are the days where teachers have to struggle to communicate whilst away from school on field trips as Two Way Radios can now be used to communicate over wide areas and modern radios can also provide functions and features such as panic alarms (ideal for lone workers), license and call charge free and a highly robust and portable communications solution.
Two Way Radios such as the superb Kenwood TK3201 are ideal for schools, nurseries and colleges who organise field trips as they provide them with an affordable and mobile way to stay in touch. And with school safe two way providers like Apex Radio Systems Ltd offering great deals for schools, colleges and universities on school safe it has never been easier for schools to make modern technology work for them.
Two Way Radios give schools a reliable and economical way to stay in touch both in and away from the school and means their pupils and staff members well being is always secure. If you are in the education sector there is now no excuse to now making sure your pupils and staff are as safe as possible.

Adoption
By: bogart | 19-11-2007
I have two daughter who are adopted. My oldest daughter's birth mother has contacted us and would like her daughter to meet my child (her daughter is 11, mine is 8). This was originally an open adoption but it has not turned out so due to the birth mothers addictions and homelessness. Obviously, I have real concerns and am reluctant for this to happen unless we have an opportunity to prepare our daughter and ground rules are in place. Does anyone have any experience with this or any adivce? Thanks

How to Use a Telescope - Reflector Telescopes an Introduction
By: John B. Mayall | 18/08/2008
Telescopes are of two main types – reflectors and refractors. The fundamental difference between both types is the kind of glasses used for light collection. Refractors use lenses while reflectors use mirrors. Going back to school physics, it is obvious that light from distant bodies, like celestial objects, comes at us as a parallel beam. Due to this parallel nature of the light rays, reflector telescopes use parabolic mirrors.
Chempedia.com: Now and Then. It’s Almost Useful…
By: ChemStudent | 18/08/2008
A couple of months ago I came across Chempedia.com, apparently a “a free and continuously-updated online” encyclopaedia of chemical compounds. So I checked it out, only to find a very basic layout, minimal information about a minimal number of compounds. And so it was pushed to the back of my brain with all the other millions of crappy websites I’ve had the displeasure to find whilst mindless browsing the interwebs. But after surfing back over there randomly this week I things have changed...
Physicochemical Properties of Metakaolin-lime Pastes at Different Calcination Temperatures of Kaolinite Clay
By: Mahmoud Taher | 18/08/2008
The study of metakaolin-lime hydration process is of great interest in the field of building materials technology.This study aimed to investigate experimentally the physicochemical properties of pastes containing metakaolin (MK) and lime as activator. MK was produced by calcining Kalabsha kaolinite clay (Aswan, Egypt) at different calcination temperatures 700,800,900 and 1000 oC for 2 hr. Five mixes were prepared by partial substitution of MK by 5,10,15,20 and 25% wt CaO ( from CaCO3) by weight,
Scientific Misconduct: How Much Does it Actually Happen?
By: ChemStudent | 18/08/2008
I was recently looking over my previous lab scripts from University and I wondered to myself - how much Industrial and Academic chemistry research is bodged by the researchers? My initial thoughts were that it could possibly happen on low scale data gathering experiments, were the outcome has already been guessed. But in truth after some research I’ve found it’s quite a common occurrence!
The Top 5 Chemistry Lab Injuries/deaths of All Time!

OK, not the most normal of all the Chemistry related topics I usually post on. But it was brought to my attention whilst watching a documentary a few days ago about reaching ‘Absolute Zero’, that compared to other scientists, Chemists usually get it bad in the whole injuries/deaths thing. It’s very unusual that a Chemist will be shot or have something kill them instantaneously; they usually suffer long and painful deaths…

How Do Telescopes Work - Building a Telescope of Your Own
By: John B. Mayall | 12/08/2008
Constructing a telescope by oneself is not too difficult if the levels of enthusiasm for the task are just right. Of course, the whole idea also hinges on the type of telescope one has the intention of creating. If it is a simple device that one wants, something that is the simplest form of a telescopic instrument, then it is an easy task. However, for an instrument that is capable of allowing the user to explore the skies, then considerable more effort and investment will be required.
