Lab Tools

3. Protective eyewear worn during all labs to shield your eyes from chemicals, glass, and other hazards.
6. An instrument used to measure temperature. In chemistry, usually measures in degrees Celsius.
8. Bottle A squeezable plastic bottle that dispenses distilled water. Used for rinsing glassware or adding water in a controlled way.
9. Tube Rack A stand that holds multiple test tubes upright. Useful for organizing test tubes during labs and keeping them from tipping over.
10. A wide, cylindrical glass container used to hold, mix, and heat liquids. It often has measurement markings, but it’s not used for precise volume measurements.
11. Beam Balance A mechanical scale used to measure the mass of objects. It uses sliding weights on three beams to find precise measurements in grams.

1. Metal tools used to hold or move hot glassware, such as beakers or crucibles, safely.
2. Flask A conical (triangle-shaped) flask used for mixing chemicals. Its narrow neck helps prevent spills and makes it easy to swirl liquids.
3. Cylinder A tall, narrow container used to measure liquid volumes accurately. More precise than a beaker or flask.
4. Tube A small glass tube used to hold or heat small amounts of substances during experiments. It’s ideal for reactions or observing changes.
5. Burner A small gas burner used to heat substances quickly in the lab. It produces an open flame and requires careful supervision.
7. Balance A digital device that provides fast and accurate mass measurements. Easier and quicker than using a triple beam balance.
