  1. Lab Equipment

  2. Goggles and Apron • Used to protect your eyes and clothing from damage. • These are a must in lab!!

  3. Plastic Gloves • Used to protect your hands • Used when handling specimen and organisms

  4. Eye Wash Station • Located in the “Workroom” between the science classes • Used to wash out your eyes if any chemicals or substances get in them

  5. Beakers • Beakers are used for holding various chemicals. • Not for measuring precisely. • Sizes vary.

  6. Graduated Cylinder • Used to precisely measure the volume of liquids or run experiments. • Read from the meniscus at eye level. • Plastic ring always on top if applicable. • Sizes vary.

  7. Erlenmeyer Flask • Used to approximately measure the volume various liquids. • Useful for mixing by swirling • Sizes vary.

  8. Rubber Stoppers • Used to close flasks and test tubes. • The holes allow the insertion of glass tubing, probes, or thermometers as needed by the experiment.

  9. Test Tubes and Rack • Used to hold chemicals/tubes while experimenting. • Not for measuring precisely. • Waft! • Aim away from faces. • Sizes vary. • Label tubes.

  10. Test Tube Brushes • Cleaning. • You must clean tubes before and after you use.

  11. Ring Stand and Ring Clamps • Base/Pole of set-up for experimenting. • Holds glassware in place for heating or evaporating.

  12. Test Tube Holder • Used for carrying or holding hot test tubes.

  13. Thermometer • Measuring temperature. • Use metric!! • Scientists use Celsius

  14. Hot Plate • Used to heat substances.

  15. Bunsen Burner • Used to heat substances quickly or if > 400oC is needed. • Do not use with flammable substances.

  16. Beaker Tongs • Used to carry beakers.

  17. Meter Stick • Used to precisely measure length. • 1m = 10dm • 1m = 100cm • 1m = 1000mm

  18. Funnel • Used to safely transfer substances from one container to another.

  19. Dropper and Bottle • Used to measure out small amounts of liquids for experiments.

  20. Digital Balance • Used to accurately measure mass. • Only up to 200g in our labs.

  21. Triple Beam Balance • Measures the mass of an object. • Make certain the balance is calibrated correctly before use.

  22. Double Pan Balance • Used to compare the masses of two substances.

  23. Pipette • Used to transfer small amounts of chemicals. • Graduated pipettes can precisely measure small amounts of chemicals.

  24. Petri Dish • Hold specimen such as bacteria

  25. Compound Microscope • Used to magnify Slide • Used to observe specimen • Cover slip goes on the top of specimen to hold it in place

  26. Hand Lens • Used to magnify objects

  27. Forceps • Used to pick up small items • Follow sharp object safety rules

  28. Spring Scale • Measures weight / force • Sizes vary, make sure object is not too heavy
