Lab Equipment Identification

Station 1 Thermometer Function: To determine the temperature of a substance Should not be used to stir!

Station 2 Electronic Balance Function: To find the mass of an object or substance Mass is not the same thing as weight!!! Mass is the amount of matter in a substance (we’ll talk more about this later!)

Station 3 Ring Stand Function: Clamps can be attached to free up hands during an experiment

Station 4 Glass Stirring Rod Function: To stir mixtures to speed up the dissolving process or the rate of the reaction

Station 5 Iron Ring Function: Can be clamped onto a ring stand to hold other lab equipment to free up hands

Station 6 Graduated Cylinders Function: Make accurate volume measurements Read volume at the bottom of the meniscus line

Station 7 Utility Clamp Function: Clamps onto the ring stand and holds items securely in place i.e. test tubes, thermometers

Station 8 Erlenmeyer Flask Function: Hold liquids and make approximate volume measurements Designed by Emil Erlenmeyer Weird shaped “beakers”

Station 9 Evaporating Dish Function: Allows liquids to evaporate, leaving the dissolved solid behind

Station 10 Beakers Functions: To hold liquids Make approximate volume measurements

Station 11 Test Tubes Function: Hold a small experiment Are not used to measure volume Usually use a test tube rack or test tube holder along with them

Station 12 Bunsen Burner Function: Heat substances to increase rate of reaction The tip of the blue cone is the hottest part of the flame, inside of flame is hollow
