Lab Equipment

The document provides an overview of common laboratory equipment such as beakers, erlenmeyer flasks, measuring cylinders, test tubes, Bunsen burners, and electronic balances. It describes how each piece of equipment is used and includes diagrams to identify the different tools. Students are instructed to draw diagrams of the equipment and learn to properly set up experiments using these tools.

STARTER

Learning Objectives
EVERYONE SHOULD
• Identify key lab equipment.
• Draw a scientific diagram
GROUP TASK
1. Have a look at the tray of common laboratory
equipment on your benches

2. How much of the equipment can you name?

3. Do you know what is used for?


Beaker

Beakers hold solids or liquids that will


not release gases when reacted or are
unlikely to splatter if stirred or heated.
Erlenmeyer Flask (Conical flask)

Erlenmeyer flasks (conical flasks) hold


solids or liquids that may release gases
during a reaction or that are likely to
splatter if stirred or heated.
Measuring Cylinder

A measuring cylinder is used to


measure volumes of liquids.
Test Tubes
13 x 100 mm test tubes

Ignition
tube

10 x 75 mm test tubes
Test Tube Holder

A test tube holder is useful for


holding a test tube which is too
hot to handle.
Test Tube Brushes
Test tube brushes are used to clean test
tubes and measuring cylinders.

Forcing a large brush into a small test tube


will often break the tube.
Test Tube Racks

Test tube racks are for holding and organizing test tubes on the laboratory counter.
Plastic racks may melt in contact with very hot test tubes.
Rubber Stoppers
Rubber stoppers are used to close
containers to avoid spillage or
contamination.

Containers should never be heated when


there is a stopper in place.
Spotting tiles
Spotting tiles are used when we want to
perform many small scale reactions at one
time. We will use these many times during
the year.
Watch Glass

A watch glass is used to hold a small


amount of solid, such as the product of
a reaction.
Glass Stir Rod

A glass rod is used to manually stir


solutions. It can also be used to transfer
a single drop of a solution.
Forceps

Forceps (or tweezers) are used to pick up small objects.


Funnel

A funnel is used to aid in


the transfer of liquid from
one vessel to another.
Pipettes

A pipette measures and


delivers exact volumes of
liquids.
Wash Bottle

A wash bottle has a spout that delivers a


wash solution to a specific area. Distilled
water is the only liquid that should be
used in a wash bottle.
Bunsen Burner

Bunsen burners are used for the heating


of nonvolatile liquids and solids.
Evaporating Dish

The evaporating dish is used for the


heating of stable solid compounds and
elements.
Crucible

Crucibles are used for heating certain


solids, particularly metals, to very high
temperatures.
Clay Triangle

The clay triangle is used as a support for


porcelain crucibles when being heated
over a Bunsen burner.
Universal clamp stand
Clamp stands are a safe and convenient way to
perform reactions that require heating using a
Bunsen burner.
Clamp

Utility clamps are used to secure test


tubes, distillation columns, and burettes to
the universal clamp stand.
Tripod and Wire gauze

Wire gauze sits on the tripod to provide a


place to stand a beaker.

On older wire gauze, the white material is


asbestos!
Hot Plate
• A hot plate is used to
heat solids and liquids
slowly, under safer
conditions than a
Bunsen burner.
Electronic Mass Balance
• Accurately
measures masses
of solids up to 0.01
grams
Cleaning Brushes
Cleans specific glassware
• Test tube brush
• Beaker brush
• Flask brush
Electronic Thermometer

• Measures temperatures to ±
0.1 degree Celsius
GROUP TASK
1. Imagine you need to heat a beaker of water
-set up the experiment on your bench using
the equipment in your tray!

2. Now on a sheet of paper – DRAW the


equipment INDIVIDUALLY!

3. Share your drawings with your group!


Now watch me draw it in the space below!

CLASS THOUGHT: What are the main differences


between my drawing and your drawing?

INDIVIDUAL TASK
Complete your workbook.

Remember if you need help then put up your hand!

REMEMBER: ALL SCIENTIFIC DRAWINGS ARE


ALWAYS DONE IN PENCIL AND RULER!

IF NOT - YOU WILL BE ASKED TO REDO IT!!!!
