Lesson: Scientific Equipment Chemistry

In this lesson, we will learn how to identify different laboratory apparatus and discern how and when they should be used.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

identify labware from descriptions or illustrations,
explain when and how certain apparatus should be used,
explain how to use a Bunsen burner, the different types of flame, and when each should be used,
suggest which apparatus should be used for experimental procedures,
identify the hazards and risks associated with labware and how these can be minimized.
