Lab Equipment Word Search
This lab equipment word search has 40 tools from the science room: the beaker, flask and test tube, the pipette and burette for measuring liquids, the Bunsen burner and crucible for heating, and the microscope, slide and petri dish for looking closely.
Several of these tools carry a scientist's name. Robert Bunsen and his technician Peter Desaga built the Bunsen burner in Heidelberg in 1855; it mixes gas with air before it burns, which gives a hot blue flame with almost no soot. Emil Erlenmeyer designed his cone-shaped flask around 1860, and its sloped sides let you swirl a liquid without spilling it. The petri dish is named for Julius Petri, who worked in Robert Koch's lab in Berlin and described it in 1887.
Each tool has a job it does better than the others. The marks on a beaker are only rough guides, so a measured volume goes in a graduated cylinder, read at the bottom of the curved surface of the liquid. A burette lets out a liquid drop by drop. A crucible is a small porcelain cup that can take very high heat, set on a clay triangle and lifted with tongs, never with fingers.
