Graduated

Cylinder
- A tall skinny cylinder used to
measure volumes. It is generally a
more accurate way to measure
volume than a typical beaker or
flask.

Beaker
- A beaker is a glass container with
a flat bottom and a small spout for
pouring. It is used in the chemistry
lab for mixing, heating, stirring
liquids and measuring solutions.
Erlenmeyer
flask
- This is a type of chemistry flask with a
conical shaped body, a cylindrically shaped
neck, and a flat bottom. It generally has
measurement marks on the side. It is similar
to a beaker, but has the cone shaped body.
The cone shape reduces losses from
evaporation and helps to prevent spills when
stirring the liquid.

Burette
- A burette is a laboratory apparatus,
which consists of a long, graduated
glass tube, with a stopcock on its lower
end. It is used in quantitative chemical
analysis to measure the volume of a
liquid or gas. It is used to dispense and
measure a variable amount of a
chemical solution. The stopcock valve
controls the flow of the fluid from the
burette, either in a steady stream or
drops by drop.
Syringe
- a syringe is a cylindrical device
with a piston or plunger that is
used for measuring and
transferring precise volumes of
liquids.
