Learning Objectives:

1. Define the proper use of several important

pieces of laboratory equipment.
2. Demonstrate their understanding of the
tools used and how they are used
correctly.
3. Draw science tools found at home.
SAFETY MEASURES IN USING THE
SCIENCE LABORATORY:
VIDEOCLIP ABOUT SCIENCE TOOLS
 COMMON SCIENCE TOOLS AND THEIR USES:

1. Thermometer-measures the coldness and

hotness of the objects.
2. Test Tube-holds small amount of liquid and is
used for observation.
3. Beaker-measures the amount of liquid; used
also for heating.
4. Graduated Cylinder-measures the amount of
liquid.
 COMMON SCIENCE TOOLS AND THEIR USES:

5. Wire Gauze-spreads the heat of the burner and

prevents breaking of the objects being heated.
6. Mortar and Pestle-used to grind chemicals into
finer texture; used also for mixing.
7. Funnel-transfers liquids from one container to
another.
8. Alcohol Lamp-heats or boils liquid under study.
