Science Lab Equipment

Identification Lab

Safety Goggles• Goggles or safety glasses are

a form of protective eyewear that usually enclose the eye area to prevent particulates or chemicals from striking the eyes. They are used in chemistry laboratories and in woodworking

METERSTICK

MEASURES THE DISTANCE BETWEEN 2 POINTS

EXAMPLES: LENGTH, WIDTH, HEIGHT, DEPTH

Units include meter, centimeter and millimeter

Graduated Cylinder

• A graduated cylinder measures the volume of liquids in a quantitative manner in units called milliliters.

Triple Beam Balance

• A triple beam balance is used to accurately measure the mass of an object. The object is balanced when the pointer is at zero. The unit of mass is the gram .

Spring Scale (spring balance)

Measures the weight of an object in Newtons (N)

Thermometer

• A thermometer is a device used to measure temperature. In the science class, temperature is measured in degrees Celsius.

Test Tube

• A test tube is a kind of laboratory glassware Test tubes allows you to heating small samples and are made of Pyrex.

Beaker

• A beaker is a type of laboratory glassware that is very stable and easy to handle. It gives a rough estimation of liquid volume.

Erlenmeyer Flask• An Erlenmeyer flask is a

type of glassware with a triangular base. The neck opening is smaller than a beaker and slows down evaporative loss better.

eye dropper or Dropper Pipette

Used to mix or dispense small amounts of liquid, one drop at a time.

Funnel

• A funnel is a device to channel liquid or fine-grained substances into a second container with a smaller opening

Hot Plate

• A hot plate is a small electric stove often used to heat glassware.

Test Tube Rack

Used to store and hold test tubes in an upright position.

Test Tube Brush

Used to clean the inside of test tubes.

Stirring rod

To mix solutions use a stirring rodNOT a thermometer

SPALUTA

To remove a small amount of a chemical from a bottle use a spatula

Micro-plate

Used in chemistry to mix and test small amounts of chemicals

Evaporation dish

a small vessel with a wide opening used for rapid evaporating, weighing small quantities of powder and

burning chemicals

Tongs

Tongs are gripping and lifting tools. The tips are adapted depending on their specific use.

Stopwatch

Used to time events in seconds

Forceps (also known as tweezers)

• Forceps are a hand-held instrument for grasping and holding objects, similar in concept to tongs, tweezers or pincers.
