summer science

erlenmeyer flasks

hold and swirl liquid with less splashing

volumetric flasks

prepare solutions to one exact and accurate volume

gradulated cylinder

used to measure more precise liquid volumes

test tubes

hold small amounts of chemicals for reactions heating and observation

test tube racks

hold multiple test tubes securely before during or after a experiment

watch glasses

cover beakers, hold small samples, or allow small amounts of liquid to evaporate

glass stirring rod

stir liquids, guide pouring, help mix solids into solutions

pipettes

used to transfer small measured volumes of liquids

droppers

add liquids one drop at a time when exact volume is not reqiuered

funnels

help pour liquids/solids into containers with small openings

thermometers

used to measure of substances/surroundings during a lab

electronic balances

mearsure mass of a substance/object, usally in grams

weigh boats

hold solid chemicals on a balance so the balance stays clean

spatualasscoopulas

scoop and transfer small amounts of solid chemicals

meter stick

measure long distances and objects

ruler

measure smaller lengths

ph paper

estimate how acidic and basic a substance is by comparing the color to the scale

beakers

hold mix and heat liquids. usefol for approx. volumes; not very precise
