Name: ___________________________ Date: ___________________________ Grade 7 Science Page | Lab Equipment Scavenger Hunt What am I used for? What am I? Number I am used to accurately measure volume of liquids. I come in a variety of sizes and have fine volume markings. I usually hold liquids. I also come in different sizes and have rough volume markings. A variety of equipment can be attached to me, so your hands can be free. I can be used to measure the mass of a substance. You need to adjust the three rider beams, starting with the largest scale, and combine the three readings. I use two lenses and a light source to make objects appear larger. Very small objects can be magnified on my stage. If you need the contents of a test tube to stay put during an experiment, stick me on top and I’ll make sure they stay. I am a flatbottomed jar used in chemistry. I have a lip for pouring materials out. You will often use me for mixing materials but should use a graduated cylinder when it comes to measuring. I am used to measure weight – the force exerted by gravity to the counterforce applied by the spring. I am useful for items that do not fit on platforms or are different in shape. To use me, simply place the item to be weighed on my hook and read the weight on the scale. If you place a beaker on top of me, I can heat its contents. I am safer than a Bunsen burner because I don’t use a flame but don’t leave me unoccupied! Place organisms and other small samples on me if you want to see them up close using a microscope. There are two ways to prepare me – a dry mount or a wet mount. I have a wide base and narrow neck. I am named after the German chemist you created me in 1861. You will use me for solutions that need to be shaken. Sometimes test tubes can be too hot to handle so you can use me to pick them up safely. Use me to perform experiments involving small amount of liquid. Because I am small and clear, it is easy to compare my contents for observations.

Lab Equipment Scavenger Hunt  What  am  I  used  for?   What  am  I?   Number  I  am  used  to  accurately  measure  volume  of  liquids.  I  come  in  a  variety  of  sizes  and  have  fine  volume  markings.  I  usually  hold  liquids.  I  also  come  in  different  sizes  and  have  rough  volume  markings.  

   

A  variety  of  equipment  can  be  attached  to  me,  so  your  hands  can  be  free.  

   

I  can  be  used  to  measure  the  mass  of  a  substance.  You  need  to  adjust  the  three  rider  beams,  starting  with  the  largest  scale,  and  combine  the  three  readings.  

   

I  use  two  lenses  and  a  light  source  to  make  objects  appear  larger.  Very  small  objects  can  be  magnified  on  my  stage.  

   

If  you  need  the  contents  of  a  test  tube  to  stay  put  during  an  experiment,  stick  me  on  top  and  I’ll  make  sure  they  stay.  

   

I  am  a  flat-­‐bottomed  jar  used  in  chemistry.  I  have  a  lip  for  pouring  materials  out.  You  will  often  use  me  for  mixing  materials  but  should  use  a  graduated  cylinder  when  it  comes  to  measuring.  

   

I  am  used  to  measure  weight  –  the  force  exerted  by  gravity  to  the  counterforce  applied  by  the  spring.  I  am  useful  for  items  that  do  not  fit  on  platforms  or  are  different  in  shape.  To  use  me,  simply  place  the  item  to  be  weighed  on  my  hook  and  read  the  weight  on  the  scale.  

   

If  you  place  a  beaker  on  top  of  me,  I  can  heat  its  contents.  I  am  safer  than  a  Bunsen  burner  because  I  don’t  use  a  flame  but  don’t  leave  me  unoccupied!  

   

Place  organisms  and  other  small  samples  on  me  if  you  want  to  see  them  up  close  using  a  microscope.  There  are  two  ways  to  prepare  me  –  a  dry  mount  or  a  wet  mount.  

   

I  have  a  wide  base  and  narrow  neck.  I  am  named  after  the  German  chemist  you  created  me  in  1861.  You  will  use  me  for  solutions  that  need  to  be  shaken.  

   

Sometimes  test  tubes  can  be  too  hot  to  handle  so  you  can  use  me  to  pick  them  up  safely.  

   

Use  me  to  perform  experiments  involving  small  amount  of  liquid.  Because  I  am  small  and  clear,  it  is  easy  to  compare  my  contents  for  observations.
