    1. Bunsen Burner
    o

    A Bunsen burner provides concentrated and adjustable heat for experiments. A tube connects the burner to the laboratory gas supply. When the Bunsen burner is lit, the flame can be adjusted using the air hole. Closing the air hole produces an easily visible, luminous flame is produced that is not good for heating. It should be opened when the Bunsen burner is used to heat chemicals.

    Beaker
    o

    A beaker is a cylindrical glass or plastic vessel used for holding liquids. It is a multi-purpose piece of equipment used for containing a chemical reaction, measuring liquids, heating them over a Bunsen burner's flame or collecting them in a titration experiment.

    Graduated Cylinder
    o

    A graduated cylinder is a relatively slim glass or plastic cylinder used specifically for calibrating beakers or measuring a liquid's volume. Graduated cylinders come in a variety of sizes such as 10 ml, 25 ml, 50 ml, 100 ml, 500 ml and 1,000 ml. Scientists take measuremens by viewing, at eye-level, the lowest point of the convex dip that the liquid in the cylinder makes.

    Test Tube
    o

    A test tube is a relatively slim glass or plastic vessel with a rounded bottom. They are designed to hold small quantities of chemicals and feature a flared lip to make pouring easier. Test tubes can hold liquid or solid chemicals and can be used to contain small chemical reactions. The slimness of the test tube reduces the spread of any vapors that may be produced by the reaction.

    Evaporating Dish

    An evaporating dish is a glazed porcelain vessel used to heat and consequently evaporate liquids. In this way experiments can increase a liquid's concentration. The dish is relatively shallow and features a lip to facilitate pouring the liquids.

    Pipet
    o

    A pipet transfers relatively small amounts of liquid. In the most commonly used pipettes, experimenters draw liquid into one end of a glass or plastic cylinder by the prior squeezing of the rubber or plastic ball at the opposite end. The amount of liquid able to be drawn into the pipette is usually fixed, to enable accuracy in measurement.

    A crucible is a container that can withstand very high temperatures and is used for metal, glass, and pigment production as well as a number of modern laboratory processes.
