accurate and precise for this purpose than flasks and
beakers.

Test tube-also known as a culture tube or sample tube,

is a common piece of laboratory glassware consisting of
a finger-like length of glass or clear plastic tubing, open
at the top, usually with a rounded U-shaped bottom.

Test tube holder-The test tube holder obviously is

designed to hold test tubes. However, it can be used to
hold pipettes and stirring rods, etc. as well.
Bunsen burner-device for combining a flammable gas
with controlled amounts of air before ignition; it
produces a hotter flame than would be possible using
the ambient air and gas alone

Test tube brush- It is a device, made with nylon bristles

attached to a twisted-wire shaft, used to knock the
bottoms out of test tubes. It is a brush that is long and
narrow to clean the inside of glassware, in particular

Iron clamp-An iron clamp is a piece of laboratory

equipment used to hold things and is placed in an iron
stand to elevate other equipment
Wire Gauge- The use of a wire gauze in an experiment is Mortar and Pestle- is a tool used to crush, grind, and
to place under the container holding the liquid, that is mix solid substances. The substance to be ground is
being heated by the Bunsen burner, so that the placed in the mortar and ground, crushed or mixed with
