Science Exploration | Tech

 LI: to learn the basic science equipment.

This week for Tech we learnt the basic Science equipment. For the first task we listed things that we don't have in the classroom but have in a science lab.

For the second task, we listed the equipment and a image of it:

• burette
• anmeter
• pipette
• bunsen burner
• tongs
• brushes
• microscope
• spring balance
• crucible
• watch glass
• test tubes
• beakers
• water bottles
• litmus paper
• funnels
• thermometer
• spatula
• tripod
• volumetric flask
• weighing machine
• magnifying glass

For the third task we poured 200ml's water in a beaker and  cylinder. After pouring water in the beaker, we poured 40mls in a measuring cylinder. Then, added 3ml's in the cylinder. 

We also learnt about the Meniscus. A meniscus is a phase boundary that has been curved because of surface tension.

I enjoyed this week's session because I got to learn how to measure volume and also learn about meniscus.
