DIAGRAM NAME USAGE


Beaker Used to hold and pour liquids. They
can also be used to heat liquids.​
​

Spot plate Has depressions where you can


place liquids or solids to investigate
or observe reactions

Petri dish Used to hold specimens for


observation and to grow cultures.
Usually made of plastic.

Overflow Canister Angled spout drains all displaced


water and helps determine the
volume of irregular objects.

Wire Gauze Can be used to support a


container (such as a beaker or
flask) during heating. It helps to
spread the heat evenly over the
container surface.
Bunsen Burner Used for heating and exposing
items to flame.

Graduated Used to accurately measure the


volume of a liquid.
Cylinder Water displacement can be used
to find out the volume of a solid.
Triple Beam Used to measure mass in grams.
Balance GE

Electronic Used to find the mass of materials


in grams.
balance

Used to measure and transfer small


amounts of liquids.
Medicine dropper

Funnel Used to direct liquids into a


container so they will not be lost or
spilled as you pour them.

Erlenmeyer flask Used to heat and store liquids. The


wide bottom allows liquids to heat
up quickly because of the greater
surface area exposed to the heat.
Retort stand Used to hold equipment in place.
Clamps or rings can be used so
that items may be placed above
the lab table for heating by
bunsen burners.

Hot Plate Often used as an alternative to the


bunsen burner to heat objects.

Crucible Tongs Used to hold many different things


such as flasks, crucibles, and
evaporating dishes when they are
hot.

Pipette Used for moving small amounts of


liquid from place to place. They
are usually made of plastic and
are disposable.
Test tube Used to hold, mix, or heat small
quantities of solid or liquid
chemicals.

Test tube holder Used to hold test tubes when they


are hot.

Test tube rack Used to hold test tubes while


reactions happen in them or while
they are not needed.

Magnifying Glass Uses one lens to make things look


larger.

Stir rod Used to mix liquid chemicals. They


are usually made of glass.

Mortar and Pestle Used to crush solids into powders


for experiments, usually to better
dissolve the solids.

Rubber stoppers Come in many different sizes and


are used to cap flasks and test
tubes. They may have holes for
thermometers or other probes.

Scoopula Used to transfer small amounts of


powdered or crystalline chemicals.

Goggles Protection for your eyes.

Tweezers Used to pick up small solid objects.


Used to dispense distilled water,
Wash bottle

Watch Glass A curved, glass dish used to react


small amounts of chemicals.

Beaker Tongs These tongs have a wide space


with rubberized arms to help grasp
large beakers.

Brush Come in different sizes (e.g. test


tube, beaker, flask) and are used
to clean glassware.

Ring Clamp Used with a retort stand to support


beakers, flasks, etc. above a
bunsen burner.

Thermometer Used to measure temperature of a


liquid or gas.
