Common Laboratory Equipment

The document lists and describes common laboratory equipment used to contain, heat, measure, and analyze substances. It includes glassware like beakers, Erlenmeyer flasks, and test tubes used for heating liquids. Instruments for precise liquid measurements are burettes, graduated cylinders, and volumetric pipettes/flasks. Tongs are used to handle hot crucibles while test tube holders secure heated test tubes. Graduated cylinders and measuring pipettes measure milk amounts. Thermometers measure pool temperatures and triple beam balances weigh baseballs.
