INTRODUCTION

Science equipment, also known as laboratory apparatuses, refers to the various tools used by scientists to measure and
store solid, liquid, and gaseous materials. These tools are essential in conducting experiments, testing hypotheses, and
solving real-world problems. In schools, students use similar tools to perform science experiments, gaining hands-on
experience with scientific concepts.

I. OBJECTIVES
1. Identify common science equipment.
2. Determine the use of common science equipment.
3. Safely handle and store common science equipment, following proper laboratory procedures.

II. MATERIALS
*The following materials will be provided in the laboratory.
beaker test tube watch glass funnel

Erlenmeyer flask test tube holder spatula digital weighing balance

graduated cylinder test tube rack stirring rod

III. PROCEDURE

General Instruction:
Before starting the experiment, be familiar with the provided science equipment. Prepare a 55-mL blue liquid solution
by following the tasks below. Determine the necessary equipment or tools to be used for each task. Observe safety and
proper handling of materials.

Task A. Measuring
1. Measure exactly 26 mL of water for your experiment. Pour the water into a beaker. Determine the appropriate
equipment to use to measure this amount accurately. Record your answer in Table 1.
2. Measure exactly 5 g of the blue powder. Determine the equipment to use to measure this amount accurately.
Record your answer in Table 1.

Task B. Transferring
3. After measuring 26 mL of water and 5 g of blue powder, carefully transfer the 26 mL of water and 5 g of blue
powder to the large container. Determine the tool and large container to be used most for the precise
transferring of the powder and water.

Task C. Mixing
4. Mix thoroughly with the water. Determine the equipment to use to ensure complete mixing of the powder in the
water.

Task D. Pouring
5. Pour a small amount of blue liquid from the beaker into a test tube. Determine the proper tool to use in order to
pour the small amount of the blue liquid into a test tube without spilling the liquid.

Task E. Storing
6. After your experiment, store any leftover blue liquid for future use. Determine the equipment to use in order to
store any leftover blue liquid for future use.

followed correctly without guidance
from the teacher.
All safety precautions are carefully
observed and no unsafe practices
such as horseplaying are done.
Laboratory gowns and other required
personal protective equipment are
properly worn. After the experiment,
laboratory space is clean and orderly,
and all used equipment is complete,
clean, and properly arranged.
All steps in the procedure are
followed correctly without guidance
from the teacher.
Basic safety precautions are carefully
observed. Laboratory gowns and
other required personal protective
equipment are properly worn. After
the experiment, laboratory space is
clean, and all used equipment is
complete and clean.
Few to several steps in the procedure
are followed correctly with guidance
from the teacher.
Basic safety precautions are not
observed and still need reminders
from the teacher. Laboratory gowns
and other required personal protective
equipment are not quite properly
worn. After the experiment, laboratory
space is a bit untidy and some
equipment used is not clean.
Procedure are not followed correctly
requiring significant guidance from the
teacher.
Basic safety precautions are not
observed and still need reminders from
the teacher. Laboratory gowns and
other required personal protective
equipment are not observed. After the
experiment, laboratory space is untidy
and some equipment used is not clean.
