Flasks - Flasks can be used for making solutions or for
holding, containing, collecting, or sometimes
volumetrically measuring chemicals, samples,
solutions, etc. for chemical reactions or other processes
such as mixing, heating, cooling, dissolving,
precipitation, boiling (as in distillation), or analysis.
Graduated Cylinder - A graduated cylinder, measuring
cylinder or mixing cylinder is a common piece of
laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a
liquid. It has a narrow cylindrical shape. Each marked
line on the graduated cylinder represents the amount
of liquid that has been measured.
Dropper – Similar to a pipette, a dropper is a device used to
transfer small quantities of liquids. They are used in the
laboratory and also to dispense small amounts of liquid
medicines. A very common use was to dispense eye drops into
the eye. The commonly recognized form is a glass tube tapered
to a narrow point and fitted with a rubber bulb at the top,
although many styles of both plastic and glass droppers exist.
An example of a simple lab experiment, Distillation, which makes use
of most lab tools and follows lab safety rules can be seen in the video.
