COMMON LABORATORY APPARATUS

OBJECTIVES:

1. Identify common laboratory apparatus

2. Use these apparatus as required.

3. Apply proper handling and maintenance to these apparatus to ensure safety in the laboratory.

PROCEDURES:

1. List down at least 30 apparatus used in the laboratory.

2. Cut and paste a picture of the 30 laboratory apparatus and discuss the function of these apparatus.

CONCLUSION:

The wide range of laboratory equipment available is designed to serve a specific purpose and has different ways of maintaining. Familiarizing the different laboratory
apparatuses and its uses will help us to lessen the chance of accidents in the laboratory since each piece of equipment has a standard mode of operation which
should be strictly followed, especially if you are a first-time user.
