Syringe, 50 mL with stop
http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/cml/saviselph
$4.70

The 50-ml syringe has been modified with a metal stop
so that when the plunger is pulled all the way to the stop,
exactly 50 ml of liquid has been measured. By pushing
down on the plunger from the 50-ml position until the
notch in the middle of the plunger reaches the top of the
plunger, 25 ml of liquid is measured.
Syringe, 50 mL modified for acid test
http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/cml/saviselph
$4.70

This syringe was specifically developed. Note the
differences between this syringe and the 50-ml syringe
with stop. This plunger in this syringe is removable.
There are also measurement notches on the plunger to
assist students in determining how much gas was
created by an acid and baking soda reaction. The top
notch allows students to accurately measure 5 ml of
acid.
Volume Tube
http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/cml/saviselph
$5.50

gas is created by the interaction of
yeast with several different foods,
including animal crackers. The
volume tube is used to measure
the volume of gas.
Funnel Stand

Liquid measure in milliliters
http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/cml/saviselph
$4.50

This 50-ml graduate includes a tactile
floating scale for use by students with
visual impairments. The cylinder is
used with the 50-ml syringe to measure
small volumes of liquid. Students add
liquid to the cylinder, and the float is
dropped in. By pinching the scale at the
spot where the scale intersects the
cylinder rim, pulling out the scale, and
then counting down from the top notch
(0 mark) to the pinch spot, students
can measure liquid volume to the
nearest 2 ml.
Histogram Board
