Scientific tools are objects used in laboratories and experiments to help conduct research safely and accurately. Examples of common scientific tools include safety goggles to protect eyes, thermometers for measuring temperature, measuring cups for liquids, funnels for pouring, test tubes for heating liquids, droppers for small liquid amounts, digital balances for weighing light objects, stopwatches for timing experiments, forceps for small items, magnifying lenses and microscopes for examining small objects, graduated cylinders for measuring volumes accurately, and Bunsen burners for heating liquids. Scientific tools allow students to perform experiments and observations.
