Science Lab Tools and Equipment Theiss Elementary Safety gloves(Rubber gloves, Latex gloves) Safety Disposable gloves worn to protect the hand from unsafe substances Graduated cylinder Measurement (volume) Metric (milliliters) A usually tall container used to measure liquids. (“Graduated” means that the container has measurement lines.) Triple beam balance Measurement (mass) Metric (grams) A scale used to precisely measure mass; the scale has three sets of weights in grams added for total mass Test tube holder(Stoddard clamp) Safety Wire tool used to safely hold and transport test tubes. By squeezing the test tube holder, the wire grip opens and closes like a mouth. Eye dropper Measurement (volume) A short glass tube with a rubber bulb used to measure and dispense liquids by drops. Hand lens*(Magnifying glass) Observation A handheld tool with a large lens used to magnify items Microscope Observation An instrument with a set of lenses used to magnify (enlarge) very small things Apron Safety An article of protective fabric used to cover the torso; in elementary school, aprons simply protect the clothes Goggles Safety Plastic eyewear worn to protect the eyes from harmful substances Beaker Measurement (volume) Metric (milliliters) A clear container used to measure liquids. (Most beakers are graduated, but they are less precise than graduated cylinders.) Test tube Observation (rarely measurement) Slender container used to hold small amounts (samples) of a liquid for purposes of experimentation Hot plate Observation A single burner used to heat samples in a lab. It must be used with caution and only with direct supervision in school Compass Observation A tool used to determine directionality and to assess electromagnetism Prism Observation A glass or plastic lens designed to refract (bend) light Fire extinguisher Safety A container full of chemicals that produce a foam to put out fires Spring balance Measurement (mass) Metric and/or customary A scale that is hung
