Mary Goes to Market – Lab Equipment Names

Doing hands-on activities like experiments is one of the best ways to learn science. Conducting experiments help you understand important concepts through direct investigation of a certain chemical reaction and manipulation of various materials. In order to successfully achieve accurate results in experiments, it is necessary to use appropriate tools and apparatus in experimentation.

In this activity, you will get to know the different laboratory equipment and their uses. You will also classify them according to what they are made of and the purpose they serve.
