Chemistry Module 2, Laboratory Apparatus Safety Rules and Symbols
Lesson 1. Identifying Laboratory Apparatus and Its Uses
When you think of chemists at work, you probably imagine them in a modern
laboratory with test tubes, other delicate instruments, apparatus, and bottles of strange
substances.
You’re right! In the laboratory, you can find different laboratory apparatus. The
Science laboratory is a place of adventure and discovery. Some of the most exciting events
in scientific history have happened in the laboratory. The discovery of the atoms, the
production of plastics for clothing, the analysis of chemicals of substances, and other
discoveries were first made by chemists in a laboratory. But all these things could never
have happened if there were no equipment and devices. Different laboratory apparatus
served their purposes. Here are some of the laboratory equipment and their uses.
