  1. Science Tools Nature of Science Laboratory Instruments

  2. SCIENCE TOOLS • To become successful scientists, we must be able to identify and use scientific instruments or tools. • These tools are for collecting data, taking measurements, and recording observations. • Scientists use a variety of tools to do investigations.

  3. #1 Triple Beam Balance • A tool used to measure the mass of an object. • It tells the amount of matter an object contains.

  4. #2 Rubber Dropper/Pipette A tool that can transfer small amounts of liquid.

  5. #3 Beaker • An open cylindrical container with a pouring lip. • It measures liquid volume or the amount that is being held.

  6. #4 Graduated Cylinder A plastic or glass cylinder used to measure liquid volume. Liquid is measured at its meniscus

  7. #5 Metric Ruler/Meter Stick • A measuring tool that is used to measure distance between and the length of objects. • It tells how long an object is. • In science, we use the metric system (SI)for measuring.

  8. #6 Test Tubes and Rack • It is smaller than a beaker and a graduated cylinder • It holds liquid, but does not measure it. • It is cylindrical in shape. • It cannot stand on its own

  9. #7 A Spring Scale • A tool used to measure weight in units called Newtons (n)

  10. #8 Safety Goggles • Eyewear that protects the eyes during a science experiment or investigation from hazardous or dangerous materials.

  11. #9 A Funnel • A tool used to transfer liquids/substances from larger opening containers into smaller ones

  12. #10 Thermometer • A tool used to measure temperature. • It measures the temperature of air and most liquids. • The Greek prefix “therm” means “heat”. • Scientists measure temperature using the Celsius scale.

  13. #11 Calculator • An electronic device for solving mathematics problems

  14. #12 Computer • An electronic tool that performs tasks by processing and storing information.
