Goggles and Apron • Used to protect your eyes and clothing from damage. • These are a must in lab!!
Plastic Gloves • Used to protect your hands • Used when handling specimen and organisms
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
Beakers • Beakers are used for holding various chemicals. • Not for measuring precisely. • Sizes vary.
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.
Erlenmeyer Flask • Used to approximately measure the volume various liquids. • Useful for mixing by swirling • Sizes vary.
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.
Test Tubes and Rack • Used to hold chemicals/tubes while experimenting. • Not for measuring precisely. • Waft! • Aim away from faces. • Sizes vary. • Label tubes.
Test Tube Brushes • Cleaning. • You must clean tubes before and after you use.
Ring Stand and Ring Clamps • Base/Pole of set-up for experimenting. • Holds glassware in place for heating or evaporating.
Test Tube Holder • Used for carrying or holding hot test tubes.
Thermometer • Measuring temperature. • Use metric!! • Scientists use Celsius
Hot Plate • Used to heat substances.
Bunsen Burner • Used to heat substances quickly or if > 400oC is needed. • Do not use with flammable substances.
Beaker Tongs • Used to carry beakers.
Meter Stick • Used to precisely measure length. • 1m = 10dm • 1m = 100cm • 1m = 1000mm
Funnel • Used to safely transfer substances from one container to another.
Dropper and Bottle • Used to measure out small amounts of liquids for experiments.
Digital Balance • Used to accurately measure mass. • Only up to 200g in our labs.
Triple Beam Balance • Measures the mass of an object. • Make certain the balance is calibrated correctly before use.
Double Pan Balance • Used to compare the masses of two substances.
Pipette • Used to transfer small amounts of chemicals. • Graduated pipettes can precisely measure small amounts of chemicals.
