This document describes various pieces of basic laboratory equipment used in the study of biology. It includes tools for heating, measuring, transferring, and examining liquids and solids. Some of the key pieces of equipment discussed are test tubes, beakers, Bunsen burners, graduated cylinders, microscopes, dissecting kits, and slides for examining samples under a microscope. The document provides illustrations and brief descriptions of how each tool is used in a biology laboratory.

Test tube
Cork and Rubber stopper
Test tube holder

3. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Test tube rack
- holds test tube

4. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Test tube brush
- to easily clean the
inside of a test
tube

5. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Tongs
- holds things
when they are
hot

6. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Beaker
- holds and
measures liquid

7. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Bunsen Burner
- for heating
and exposing
items to flame

8. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Buret
- used in
titrations to
measure
precisely how
much liquid is
used

9. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Evaporating dish
- to heat and
evaporate liquids.

10. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Florence Flask
- for heating subtances
that need to be heated
evenly
- the bulbed bottom
allows the heat to
distribute through the
liquid more evenly
- mostly used in distillation

11. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Graduated cylinders
- accurately measure
out volumes of liquids

12. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Ring stand
- holds items being
heated

13. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Mortar and Pestle
- to crush solids into
powders for
experiments, usually
to better dissolve the
solids

14. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Pipet
- moves small amounts
of liquid from place
to place

15. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Erlenmeyer flasks
- allows the contents to be
swirled or stirred, the narrow
neck keeps contents from
spilling
- to heat and store liquids; since
the bottom is wider than the
top contents heat quicker
because of the greater surface
area exposed to the heat

16. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Funnel
- transfers liquid from
one container to
another

17. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Stirring rod
- stir liquids in flasks or
beakers

18. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Meter stick
- measures length

19. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Triple beam balance
- measures mass

20. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Thermometer
- measures
temperature

21. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Alcohol lamp
- source of heat

22. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Tripod
- a stand or
support
with three legs

23. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Wire gauze
- supports a
container
during heating

24. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Magnifying glass
magnifies small
objects

25. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Microscope
