1. Goggles The purpose of the goggles are
to protect the scientist’s eyes
from hazardous materials or
chemicals.
2. 250 ml Beaker The purpose of a 250 ml Beaker
is to heat and stir liquids in
laboratories. They have a small
beak to pour liquids
The safety precautions you should
take when using goggles is
assuring the goggles are secured
tightly and they are not broken or
cracked, so chemicals do seap in.
The safety precautions you should
take when using a beaker is to pour

wear gloves when holding the
beaker if the liquid is hot. You
should also inspect the glass before
usage, to insure there are no cracks
or scratches.
3. Thermometer The purpose of a thermometer
is to measure temperature of
liquids with high accuracy.
4. Pipette Tip The purpose of a Pipette Tip
Is to protect the pipette from
aerosols created when liquids
are aspirated into the pipette tip.
They also protect the samples
from aerosols in the pipette that
were generated from prior
pipetting operations.
The safety precautions you should
take when using a thermometer is
to make sure that it is not cracked
before being used. Also, be
cautious because if the
thermometer is cracked there are a
dangerous chemicals inside. You
should also inspect the glass before
usage, to insure there are no cracks
or scratches.
The safety precautions you should
take when using a Pipette Tip is to
clean the tip when done using so it
doesn't cross contaminate.
5. Calculator The purpose of a calculator is to
calculate numbers precisely to
avoid human error.
6. 200 ml Erlenmeyer The purpose of a 200 ml
flask Erlenmeyer flask is to measure
liquids, mix liquids, and pour
liquids.
7. Test Tube holder The purpose of a Test Tube
holder is used for holding a test
The safety precautions you should
take when using a calculator is to
be careful when punching in

take into account order of
operations that the calculator may
not do.
The safety precautions you should
take when using an Erlenmeyer
flask is to not hold the flask by the
neck and Always use two hands by
position one hand under the glass
for support. You should also
inspect the glass before usage, to
insure there are no cracks or
scratches.
The safety precautions you should
take when using a test tube holder
 tube in place when the tube is
hot or should not be touched.
8. pH Strips The purpose of a pH Strips are
to test the acidity or alkalinity of
a liquid through the change of
color on the strip.
is to make sure it is steady and it is
not broken so the chemicals do not
spill.
The safety precautions you should
take when using a pH strip is to
assure the strip is unused and new
to have the most accurate results.
Furthermore the strip does not need
to be fully submerged under the
liquid.

The purpose of a Glass Rod is a
piece of laboratory equipment
used to mix chemicals and
liquids for laboratory purposes.
The purpose of a Band Aid is to
protect you from any type of
bacteria or virus, it also helps
your healing process without
any type of disturbance.
The safety precautions you should
take when using a glass rod is to
wash the rod after every use to not

cracks or scratches.
The safety precautions of a band
aid is to replace to insure the
