Some common laboratory apparatuses/equipments and
safety measures inside the laboratory room
1. Draw or paste in your bond paper common laboratory
equipments (20)

for accurate fluiddispensing and measurement.
9.Volumetric Pipette- a tool for measuringprecise volumes of
a liquid.
10.Serological Pipette- used in the same wayas Mohr pipettes

or transported.
19.Ignition Tube- primarily used to hold smallquantities of
substances which are undergoingdirect heating by a Bunsen burner
or other heatsource.
20.Porcelain Crucible- used to heat smallquantities to very

A. What are the equipments used in measuring volume of
liquid

B.

What are the equipments used in measuring mass

weight

Weighing scales (or weigh scales or scales) are devices

to measure weight or calculate mass. Spring balances or spring
scalesmeasure weight (force) by balancing the force due to gravity
against the force on a spring, whereas a balance or pair of scales
using a balance beam compares masses by balancing the weight
due to the mass of an object against the weight of a known mass or
masses. Either type can be calibrated to read in units of force such
as newtons, or in units of mass such as kilograms, but the balance
or pair of scales using a traditional balance beam to compare
masses will read correctly for mass even if moved to a place with a
different (non-zero) gravitational field strength (but would then not
read correctly if calibrated in units of force), while the spring balance
would read correctly in force in a different gravitational field
strength (but would not read correctly if calibrated in units of mass).
C.what are the equipments used in measuring length or weight
Measurement is the assignment of a number to a characteristic of
an object or event, which can be compared with other objects or
events. The scope and application of a measurement is dependent
on the context and discipline. In the natural
sciences and engineering, measurements do not apply to nominal
properties of objects or events, which is consistent with the
guidelines of the International vocabulary of metrology published by
the International Bureau of Weights and Measures.[2] However, in
other fields such asstatistics as well as the social and behavioral
sciences, measurements can have multiple levels, which would
include nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio scales.
D.What are the safety measures when working inside the laboratory
room (10)

RULE #1: WALK

When going into the lab make sure to WALK. There will be no running
in the lab. There will be materials and equipment out that can break if
you accidently knock into them. There may be electrical wires on the
ground that you may trip over as well. Please WALK and be careful.

RULE #2: PROPER LAB ATTIRE

You have been given a schedule of when our labs will be held. The day
before we do a lab I will remind you so that you can come to class
prepared with proper lab attire. Proper attire is as follows:
CLOSED TOED SHOES - flip-flops, sandals, peep-toe shoes, are not
allowed in the lab area. You must wear closed toed shoes on the
days we have lab. If you do not have appropriate footwear on
then you cannot participate in lab.
HAIR MUST BE TIED BACK - if you have long hair it must be worn
up in a ponytail on the days we have lab.
SAFETY GOGGLES - these will be provided for you to be used in
class. The goggles are located in the cabinets in the lab
equipment area. Each pair of goggles is numbered to match the
hooks they are on. When putting them back make sure to put
them on the same hooks.
LAB COATS - these will be provided for you to be used in class.
The coats are hanging up on the hooks below the goggles
cabinets. They are numbered to match the hooks they are on.
When putting them back make sure to put them on the same
hook.

RULE #3: HANDLING CHEMICALS

When handling chemicals during lab it is important to proceed

with caution. Wear gloves whenever pouring chemicals or
handling them. If there is a spill be sure to let the teacher know.
If you have to dispose of chemicals, always use the waste
containers provided on your lab tables. NEVER pour the
chemicals back into the container you got it from. If you do,
whatever was in your container could cause a chemical reaction
with the chemical in the original container.

RULE #4: HANDLING EQUIPMENT

It it important that when you are using different lab equipment, you handle
them with care. Microscopes should be held with both hands, one
underneath and one on the arm (see microscope diagram). When handling

glassware be sure to hold it with both hands when can. If something is hot,
then make sure to use tongs. NEVER use your hands.

RULE #5: BROKEN GLASS

If you break a piece of glassware DO NOT TOUCH IT. Tell the teacher
IMMEDIATELY when it break

RULE #6: EYE WASH/SHOWER STATION

If chemicals or particles get in your eyes, WALK to the eye wash station and
rinse out your eyes for 15 minutes. Make sure that you keep your eyes OPEN
when you rinse them.
If chemicals get onto your skin, WALK to the shower station and pull on the
red handle. Stand under the shower and rinse off your body for 15 minutes.

RULE #7: FIRE SAFETY

In the event that there is a fire during lab, IMMEDIATELY tell the teacher.
WALK over to the fire extinguisher, pull out the safety pin, aim the nozzle
towards the fire and push the handle down (I will demonstrate this for you).
Empty out the entire tank.

RULE #8: NO EATING/DRINKING IN LAB

There will be NO eating or drinking during lab. There are days that we may
be using chemicals and I do not want you to get sick. Also, the lab tables
may have had chemicals on them previously that were not properly cleaned
up so you should not eat or drink on them either.

RULE #9: CLEANING UP

Once lab is over, I will give you enough time to clean your lab table. If you
used any chemicals make sure to dump them into the waste container at
your lab table. DO NOT POUR THEM DOWN THE SINK! Once the beaker,
flask, or test tube is empty then you can rinse it out in the sink at your lab
table and use the brush to wash it. PLEASE ONLY TURN THE FAUCET ON
DURING CLEAN UP TIME! Make sure you sponge down your lab area as well.
Any materials like microscopes or petri dishes will be put back where they
belong (I will direct you to where they need to be on the day of the lab).

RULE #10: HAND WASHING

Before leaving the lab ALWAYS wash your hands. Make sure you use soap
and water and scrub your hands thoroughly at the handwashing station.
Some of the materials we will be using could be harmful to you, so it is
important that you wash your hands so you do not get sick.
