8/30/2012 Science Tools 3 Title: The Science Tools hand lens

Hand lenses are the basic magnifier for many earth science field studies. Geologists, biologists, entomologists, and others use them to make quick identification of small distinguishing features which would otherwise be too small to see with the unaided eye. HAND LENS

A tall narrow container with a volume scale used especially for measuring liquids. Graduated cylinders are used to measure out exact amounts of liquid chemicals or solutions. GRADUATED CYLINDER

Using safety goggles in science class is necessary for safe, active learning, but choosing the right goggles and using them appropriately is critical to ensure the laboratory experience is a good one. GOGGLES

A thermometer is a device that measures temperature using a variety of different principles. Thermometers are instruments for measuring temperature of a space or a particular object. THERMOMETER

A beaker is a deep cup or glass with a wide mouth and usually a lip for pouring. Unlike a graduated cylinder beakers are used for mixing and containing liquids not measuring volumes. BEAKER

A microscope is an instrument to see objects too small for the normal eye. MICROSCOPE

Science relies on careful and precise measurements. The easiest way to measure length is to use a ruler or a meter stick. Meter sticks are typically 1 m long (100 cm). The stick is divided by centimeters and millimeters. Measurements with a meter stick can therefore measure things as small as 1 mm. METER STICK

HOT PLATE Hot plates provide a convenient, useful addition to science labs and instruction when other sources of heat are not available or when additional sources are necessary.

TRIPLE BEAM BALANCE A triple beam balance is a type of balance (scale) commonly used in the laboratory to determine the mass (by weight comparison) of samples.

DOUBLE PAN BALANCE A double-pan balance is a scale which has 2 pans that are balanced against each other. The scale functions like a see-saw, with each of the 2 pans attached to a centered pivot point.

This is a very important activity. Your SCIENCE JOURNAL is a very important tool. You will use your SCIENCE JOURNAL to help you better understand SCIENCE. DO NOT MISPLACE IT.
