All students need to know and understand the function of the equipment that they will be using in the science classroom. This exercise is designed for students to learn some of the materials they will be using during the school year by reviewing the equipment using pictures and detailed descriptions
Each item will have at least one picture showing a typical example and a short description of how the item is used.
This exercise was designed and created by students at York High School in Elmhurst, Illinois.
* - stereoscope or dissection microscope
** - pipet or eyedropper
Note: A quarter was used in these pictures so that the user can determine the size of the piece of equipment.
