Science Apparatus and Safety

Learn the tools used in the science room and the safety rules that keep us safe.

Science Apparatus

In the science room we use special tools called apparatus. A beaker holds and mixes liquids. A test tube holds a small amount of liquid. A measuring cylinder measures the volume of liquid. A thermometer measures how hot or cold something is. A magnifying glass makes small things look bigger. We use the right tool for each job.

Key idea / 要点

Apparatus are the special tools we use in science. Always pick the correct tool and use it with care.

Staying Safe

The science room can have glass, heat and chemicals, so we follow safety rules. Listen to your teacher. Do not run or play. Never taste or smell anything unless the teacher says so. Tie back long hair near a flame. Tell the teacher at once if you break glass or get hurt.

Remember / 记住

  • Follow the teacher's instructions.
  • Handle glass apparatus gently.
  • Wash your hands after every activity.
