Lab+Gear

Here is the introductory lab gear...

Beaker: Great as a reaction vessel. Ok for moving substances from staging area.

Bunsen Burner: Allows students to intensely heat substances in an open flame.

Graduated Cylinder: Used to measure volumes of liquid or powdered solids directly, or chunky solids by displacement. NOT a good reaction vessel and NOT good for transporting substances from staging area.

Hot Plate: Good for heating substances to a desired temperature. Larger solids can go directly on the hot plate, while liquids and messy/powdered solids should go in a beaker on the hot plate.

Stir Rod: For stirring! Be careful, they're made of glass.

Test Tube: Great as a reaction vessel for small amounts of substance.

Tongs: Great for handling hot or dangerous substances.

Well Plate: Great as a reaction vessel for small amounts of several substances.
