Scientific Equipment
This piece of equipment lets you heat substances safely using a flame.
What is a Bunsen burner?
These must be worn to protect your eyes during any practical with chemicals or heat.
What are safety goggles?
This is the step where you make a prediction about what you think will happen.
What is forming a hypothesis?
This branch of science studies living things such as plants, animals, and microbes.
What is biology?
This type of force pulls objects towards Earth.
What is gravity?
This tool is used to measure the temperature of liquids and gases.
What is a thermometer?
You must tell your teacher immediately if this happens — no matter how small.
What is a spill or accident?
This is the variable you keep the same to make your experiment fair.
What is a controlled variable?
This branch studies matter, mixtures, and how substances react.
What is chemistry?
This force acts when two surfaces rub against each other.
What is friction?
You use this piece of equipment to hold small amounts of liquids during experiments.
What is a test tube?
You always do this before heating a test tube to prevent it boiling over suddenly.
What is pointing it away from yourself and others?
This part of the scientific method involves recording what you see or measure.
What is collecting results/observations?
This science investigates forces, energy, motion, and how things work.
What is physics?
A push or a pull is the basic definition of this term.
What is a force?
This instrument lets you examine objects too small to see with the naked eye.
What is a microscope?
You must never do this with equipment unless your teacher gives permission.
What is touch or use it?
The part of a report that lists the items you need to carry out the experiment.
What is the materials/apparatus list?
This field studies Earth’s surface, including rocks, minerals, and natural processes.
What is geology?
This force keeps objects floating or held up in liquids.
What is buoyancy?
This container has a narrow neck and is used for mixing chemicals without spilling.
What is a conical flask?
You must tie this back to prevent it catching fire during experiments.
What is long hair?
This calculation is used to combine multiple trials to increase accuracy.
What is the mean?
This branch focuses on the atmosphere, including weather patterns.
What is meteorology?
This force acts through magnets attracting or repelling each other.
What is magnetic force?
