Tools We Use
In the science room we use special tools called apparatus. They help us look at things and hold liquids. A hand lens makes small things look bigger, so we can see tiny parts of a leaf or an ant.
A beaker is like a small cup with a mouth for pouring. We use it to hold water and other liquids. A test tube is a thin glass tube. We use it to hold a little bit of liquid.
Key idea
A hand lens makes small things look bigger. A beaker and a test tube hold liquids.
Using Tools Safely
The tools are made of glass and can break. We must be careful with them.
Remember
- Hold glass tools with both hands.
- Walk slowly and do not run.
- Tell your teacher if a tool breaks.
- Keep your table clean and tidy.
