Theiss Elementary
![Page 2: Science Lab Tools and Equipment Theiss Elementary.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649dd05503460f94ac60eb/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Safety gloves(Rubber gloves, Latex gloves)
Safety Disposable gloves worn to protect the hand
from unsafe substances

Graduated cylinder
Measurement (volume) Metric (milliliters) A usually tall container used to
measure liquids. (“Graduated” means that the container has measurement lines.)

Triple beam balance
This tool is almost guaranteed to be on the STAAR test.
Measurement (mass) Metric (grams) A scale used to precisely measure mass; the
scale has three sets of weights in grams added for total mass

Spring balance
Measurement (mass) Metric and/or customary A scale that is hung (from a ring stand or
pulley system), and objects are attached to the hook to measure the weight
![Page 6: Science Lab Tools and Equipment Theiss Elementary.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649dd05503460f94ac60eb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Pan balance
Measurement (mass) Metric, customary, or non-standard A scale used to measure mass; the two sides
of the scale must be equally balanced in order to determine mass.

Eye dropper
Measurement (volume) A short glass tube with a rubber bulb used to
measure and dispense liquids by drops.

Hand lens(Magnifying glass)
Observation A handheld tool with a large lens used to
magnify items
![Page 9: Science Lab Tools and Equipment Theiss Elementary.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649dd05503460f94ac60eb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Microscope
Observation An instrument with a set of lenses used to
magnify (enlarge) very small things
STAAR tip: Binoculars and telescopes are used to see LARGE things from far away. Microscopes are used to see SMALL things up close.

Timer/Stopwatch
Measurement (time) A device that can be used to measure the
length of time for an action or observation.

Beaker
Measurement (volume) Metric (milliliters) A clear container used to measure liquids.
(Most beakers are graduated, but they are less precise than graduated cylinders.)

Test tube
Observation (rarely measurement) Slender container used to hold small
amounts (samples) of a liquid for purposes of experimentation
![Page 13: Science Lab Tools and Equipment Theiss Elementary.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649dd05503460f94ac60eb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Test tube holder(Stoddard clamp)
Safety Wire tool used to safely hold and transport
test tubes. By squeezing the test tube holder, the wire grip opens and closes like a mouth.

Hot plate
Observation A single burner used to heat samples in a
lab. It must be used with caution and only with direct supervision in school
![Page 15: Science Lab Tools and Equipment Theiss Elementary.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649dd05503460f94ac60eb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Compass
Observation A tool used to determine directionality and to
assess electromagnetism
Remember, no matter where the letters are, the arrow is always pointing north.

Prism
Observation A glass or plastic lens designed to refract
(bend) light
The STAAR test rarely mentions prisms but the concept of refracting (bending) light is tested nearly every single year.

Safety and Observation An adjustable, metal holder designed to be
attached to a ring stand to securely hold glass tubes
![Page 22: Science Lab Tools and Equipment Theiss Elementary.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649dd05503460f94ac60eb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
