Lab Equipment

1. Measures temperature; typically reported in degrees Celsius for scientific investigations
2. Measures an object's weight. Measurements are usually made in Newtons (N)
4. Closes or plugs the open end of glassware (like test tubes or flasks). Can be made out of rubber or cork
7. Measures the volume of the liquid it contains
8. Transfer a small volume of liquid by squeezing and releasing the bulb
9. Holds chemicals; its cylindrical neck allows liquids to be stoppered or swirled
10. Grips the test tube when it contains dangerous chemicals or hot liquids
12. Heats chemicals using propane gas and a flame
15. Makes small objects look bigger
16. Helps transfer substances into a small mouth container
17. Holds chemicals; usually a small glass tube with a stoppered end

1. holds a set of test tubes
3. Protect the eyes from splashing chemicals or hot liquids
5. Measures length or distance. Measurements are recorded in millimeters (mm), centimeters (cm), or meters (m)
6. Measures the mass of an object on the pan
11. Allows growth and observation of objects. Looks like a clear shallow dish with a lid.
13. Provides an approximate (rough) measurement of a liquid’s volume
14. Heats chemicals or other lab objects. Usually powered with electricity
15. Uses lenses to make very small objects or details on a slide look bigger (magnified)
18. Grips hot objects in order to move them to a cooling off area
