th 7 Grade Science Laboratory Equipment SHJH Laboratory Equipment will be defined and illustrated

Beaker Ø Beaker: A wide cylindrical vessel with a pouring lip, used as a lab container and mixing jar. May come in 3 sizes: small, medium, and large with markings on the sides.

Flask Ø A wide base glass container with a narrow neck, used for holding or carrying liquids.

Test Tube Ø Test Tube: A clear cylindrical, glass tube open at one end and rounded at the other. Used in laboratory use and for experimentation.

Test Tube Holder Ø Test Tube Holder: a plastic holder to place test tubes in before, during and after labs.

Dropper Ø Dropper: A glass tube with a hollow rubber bulb at one end a small opening at the other, drawing in a liquid and expelling it in drops.

Pipette Ø Pipette: A slender, graduated plastic tube used for measuring and transferring quantities of liquid from 1 container to another.

Glass Stirring Rods Ø Glass Stirring Rods: A glass rod using for stirring liquids in the lab. Often referred to as a “swizzle stick”.

Hot Hands Ø Hot Hands: A plastic cupped shaped mitt to fit on one hand to handle hot containers.

Lab Apron Ø Lab Apron: A plastic apron that fits over the student’s head and ties in the back. This will protect the student from potential spills or splashes.

Safety Goggles Ø Safety Goggles: Plastic eye-wear in the form of goggles or glasses that will protect the students’ eyes during labs.

Magnifying Lens Ø Magnifying Lens: A hand magnifying lens to enlarge objects during labs.

Triple Beam Balance Ø Triple Beam Balance: A measuring instrument consisting of 3 beams to measure mass. To begin, you must set the calibration to “ 0” and then it is balanced when the line at the right lines up with the main marking.

Microscope Ø Microscope: An optical instrument having a magnifying lens or a combination of lenses for inspecting objects too small to be seen by the unaided eye.

Graduated Cylinder Ø A glass vessel with a rubber stopper and a rubber base that is used to measure liquids.

Science Safety Ø According to Aesop’s Tale, “The Tortoise and the Hare”, remember who took his time and ended up winning the race. That is what I would like you to do, be careful, work hard and you will be successful!
