1. Basic Science Instruments

2. Beaker

3. Beaker (Not the Muppet) Used to hold liquids Used to measure approximate volume – Measured in milliliters (mL) Has a spout for pouring

4. Graduated Cylinder Cylinder = Shape Graduated = Marked with measurements Used to measure the volume of liquids more accurately Rubber ring is used to prevent breaking if tipped over

5. Test Tube Used to hold liquids without a measurement Rack designed to hold test tubes with liquid or place test tube upside-down to dry

6. Flask Used to hold liquids and measure approximate volume Shape allows for stirring and shaking by hand

7. Balance Measures mass (not weight – a SCALE measures weight)

8. Hot Plate Used to heat up liquids in a science container
