In any science laboratory, various equipment is crucial for making precise measurements and ensuring safety during experiments. Key instruments include the Triple Beam Balance for mass measurement in grams, milligrams, and kilograms; the Spring Scale to determine weight in Newtons; and the Graduated Cylinder for accurate volume readings in milliliters or liters. Additional tools such as test tubes, test tube holders, goggles for eye protection, and beakers for mixing are vital for various laboratory tasks. Familiarity with their uses enhances experimentation efficacy and safety.
