Study Notes
Beaker
- Primarily used for measuring and holding liquids; can also heat substances.
Test Tube
- Holds, mixes, heats, and tests small amounts of liquid.
Graduated Cylinder
- Designed for precise measuring and pouring of liquids; not for heating or mixing.
Test Tube Clamp
- Holds a single test tube securely.
Metric Ruler
- Measures distance using metric units.
Forceps
- A tool for picking up small objects and placing coverslips onto microscope slides.
Test Tube Rack
- Holds multiple test tubes simultaneously for organization and safety.
Dropper
- Transfers small volumes of liquid; accuracy is not guaranteed.
Pipette
- Transports small amounts of liquid; includes measurement capabilities for precision.
Thermometer
- Measures temperature of air or liquids; Celsius scale used in scientific settings.
Funnel
- Facilitates pouring liquids from one container to another; used with filter paper for filtering.
Petri Dishes
- Provides a sterile environment for growing cultures.
Microscope
- Magnifies small objects up to 1,000 times; requires light penetration through the specimen.
Slide and Coverslip
- Holds small specimens for observation under a microscope.
Glass Stirring Rod
- Used for mixing substances; made from glass to withstand heat.
Triple Beam Balance
- Measures the mass of objects accurately.
Probe
- Employed in dissection to separate small parts or explore structures.
Flask
- Container for mixing, conducting reactions, and heating; long neck design reduces spillage risk and aids in pouring.
