Safety Goggles
• Goggles or safety glasses are
a form of protective eyewear that
usually enclose the eye area to
prevent particulates or chemicals
from striking the eyes. They are
used in chemistry laboratories
and in woodworking
METERSTICK
MEASURES THE DISTANCE
BETWEEN 2 POINTS
EXAMPLES: LENGTH,
WIDTH, HEIGHT, DEPTH
Units include meter, centimeter
and millimeter
Graduated Cylinder
• A graduated cylinder
measures the volume of
liquids in a quantitative manner
in units called milliliters.
Triple Beam Balance
• A triple beam balance is used to
accurately measure the mass of an
object. The object is balanced when
the pointer is at zero. The unit of
mass is the gram .
Spring Scale
(spring balance)
Measures the weight of an object in Newtons (N)
Thermometer
• A thermometer is a device
used to measure
temperature. In the science
class, temperature is
measured in degrees
Celsius.
Test Tube
• A test tube is a kind of
laboratory glassware Test
tubes allows you to
heating small samples
and are made of Pyrex.
Beaker
• A beaker is a type of
laboratory glassware that is
very stable and easy to
handle. It gives a rough
estimation of liquid volume.
Erlenmeyer Flask
• An Erlenmeyer flask is a
type of glassware with a
triangular base. The neck
opening is smaller than a
beaker and slows down
evaporative loss better.
eye dropper or
Dropper Pipette
Used to mix or dispense small amounts of
liquid, one drop at a time.
Funnel
• A funnel is a device to
channel liquid or finegrained substances into a
second container with a
smaller opening
Hot Plate

electric stove often
used to heat
glassware.
Test Tube Rack
Used to store and hold test tubes in
an upright position.
Test Tube Brush
Used to clean the inside of test tubes.
Stirring rod
To mix solutions
use a stirring rod
NOT a
thermometer
SPALUTA
To remove a small
amount of
a chemical from a
bottle use a
spatula
Micro-plate
Used in chemistry to mix and test
small amounts of chemicals
Evaporation dish
a small vessel with a wide opening used
for rapid evaporating, weighing
small quantities of powder and
burning chemicals
Tongs
Tongs are gripping and lifting tools. The tips are
adapted depending on their specific use.
Stopwatch
Used to time events in seconds
Forceps (also known as
tweezers)
• Forceps are a hand-held instrument for
grasping and holding objects, similar in
concept to tongs, tweezers or pincers.
