Apparatus riddle Flashcards
To familiarize the riddle that is given to us
I am where grace and strength combine, a narrow stage for
moves so fine. Gymnasts tread but dare not teeter, for balance here is their true
meter.
BALANCE BEAM
A scientist’s friend with a flat base and wide mouth, holding reactions that sometimes head south. We use a beaker to hold a liquid.
BEAKER
When tubes and such are far too hot to touch with your bare
skin You’ll need a pair of these to help you lift and move such things.
CRUCIBLE TONGS
I am a small device that is used to slowly and carefully transfer small amounts of a liquid. I am usually made from plastic or glass, and I have a small bulb at one end that gently pulls fluid into my slender, hollow tube.
DROPPER
I am a glass apparatus that has a wide base and a slender
opening at the top. I am often used for titration experiments, or if you can’t seem to find a beaker anywhere. I come in many sizes: 125 mL, 250 mL, and 500 Ml.
ERLENMEYER FLASK
I am a dish made of ceramic material, which allows me to
become very HOT during heating.
EVAPORATING DISH
I am a piece of apparatus that is used for careful transfer of fluids. I have a wide circular mouth and a slender, hollow tube.
FUNNEL
We are used to grind substances and always work
together to get the job done.
MORTAR AND PESTLE
I am a glass found in the laboratory. I am narrow cylinder in shape, Each mark line on me represents the amount of liquid. I am also known as measuring cylinder.
GRADUATED CYLINDER
I shelter the culture, and in labs, I’m a must; I might be quite small, but in me, you trust.
PETRI DISH
I am slender and long, with precision I’m used, to draw up liquids, my form is well-tuned.
PIPETTE
I am a glass cylinder that is used to mix and stir during an experiment. I am also used when pouring liquids. We use a glass rod to stir a liquid in a beaker.
STIRRING ROD/ GLASS ROD
I am a glass tube with one open end that scientists use for many
purposes. I am used when a beaker is too large.
TEST TUBE
I am used to hold a hot glass tube – that’s how I got my name! I take the heat so that your fingers don’t have to.
TEST TUBE RACK
In the lab I hang, ready to drop, when temperatures rise, I measure the top.
