Different Scientific Tools for the

Study of Biology

Test tube rack- holds test tube


Study of Biology

Test tube brush- to easily clean

the inside of a test tube


Study of BiologyTongs- holds things

when they are hot


Beaker- holds and measures liquid


Bunsen Burner- for heating and exposing items to flame


Buret- used in titrations to measure precisely how much liquid is used


Study of Biology

Evaporating dish- to heat and

evaporate liquids.


Study of BiologyFlorence 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


Study of Biology

Graduated cylinders

- accurately measure out volumes of liquids


Study of Biology

Ring stand- holds items being

heated


Study of Biology

Mortar and Pestle- to crush solids into

powders for experiments, usually to better dissolve the solids


Study of Biology

Pipet- moves small

amounts of liquid from place to place


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


Funnel- transfers liquid from one container to another


Stirring rod- stir liquids in flasks

or beakers


Meter stick

- measures length


Triple beam balance- measures mass


Thermometer- measures

temperature


Alcohol lamp- source of heat


Tripod- a stand or

support with three legs


Wire gauze- supports a

container during heating


Magnifying glassmagnifies small objects


Microscope- makes an

enlarged image of a very small object


Glass slide- provides a mounting surface for

examination by microscope


Cover slip- covers materials on a glass slide


Petri dishshallow dish for bacterial culture


Spot plate plate with small wells used to perform reactions on a very small amount of materials
