Lab Equipment

2. Heats chemicals or other lab objects. Usually powered with electricity
3. Measures an object's weight. Measurements are usually made in Newtons (N)
7. holds a set of test tubes
9. Holds chemicals; its cylindrical neck allows liquids to be stoppered or swirled
11. Helps transfer substances into a small mouth container
12. Makes small objects look bigger
13. Measures the mass of an object on the pan
16. Allows growth and observation of objects. Looks like a clear shallow dish with a lid.
18. Protect the eyes from splashing chemicals or hot liquids
19. Grips hot objects in order to move them to a cooling off area
20. Transfer a small volume of liquid by squeezing and releasing the bulb

1. Measures temperature; typically reported in degrees Celsius for scientific investigations
4. Closes or plugs the open end of glassware (like test tubes or flasks). Can be made out of rubber or cork
5. Measures the volume of the liquid it contains
6. Provides an approximate (rough) measurement of a liquid’s volume
8. Grips the test tube when it contains dangerous chemicals or hot liquids
10. Measures length or distance. Measurements are recorded in millimeters (mm), centimeters (cm), or meters (m)
14. Heats chemicals using propane gas and a flame
15. Uses lenses to make very small objects or details on a slide look bigger (magnified)
17. Holds chemicals; usually a small glass tube with a stoppered end
