_____ml Beaker • Function - To measure liquids • They come in different sizes so you need to put the size in front of the name. • Ex. 100ml Beaker, 250ml Beaker
_____ml Erlenmeyer Flask • Function - To measure liquids and mix them. • Erlenmeyer flask also come in different sizes. • Ex. 500ml Erlenmeyer Flask
______ml Graduated Cylinder • Function - To accurately measure liquids. • Graduated Cylinders come in various sizes. Ex. 10ml Graduated Cylinder.
Test Tube • Test tubes have many functions including mixing liquids to observe their reaction.
Forceps • Function - To hold and move parts you should not touch.
Probes • Function - To move and push aside materials during a dissection. • A dissecting kit contains a straight probe and a bent probe.
Hand Lens • Function - To magnify small objects for viewing.
Metric Ruler • Function - To measure the length of small objects in centimeters or millimeters.
Meter Stick • Function - To measure the length of objects in centimeters or meters.
Triple-Beam Balance • Function - To measure the mass of an object in grams.
GPS (Global Positioning System) • Function - To find your location on earth. Your longitude and latitude.
Topographic Map • Function - To show the location of landforms and elevation.
Petri Dish • Function - Provides a surface for you to experiment on various materials. In our class we will use them to grow bacteria and fungi.
Safety Goggles • Function - Keeps your eyes safe from dangerous liquids that may cause permanent eye damage.
Mineral ID Kit • Function - To identify different minerals.
