Lab+Equipment

= Lab Equipment =

In Biology and Physical Science as well as any other science class, we interact with many different pieces of equipment. It is important to get to know what each piece of equipment looks like as well as how they are used.

Use the 'Ask a Scientist' Web-page, Wisc-Online, TUH School District, ThinkQuest, or a Search Engine Like Google to look-up the following lab equipment and their uses:

In your lab-notebook, write the name of the piece of equipment, sketch a small picture (do the best you can), and write a brief description (2-3 sentences) of the uses of the equipment.

1. pH Meter/Litmus Paper 2. Triple Beam Balance 3. Test Tube Brush 4. Test Tube Clamp/Holder 5. Safety Goggles 6. Test Tube Stand/Rack 7. Beaker Tongs 8. Pipette 9. Graduated Cylinder 10.
