Science Equipment - Apparatus

Your teacher will show you where the equipment is stored in the classrrom.

The equipment used for experiments is called apparatus.

Collect an apparatus worksheet and fill in the missing names of the apparatus.

Safely using the Bunsen Burner

Watch your teacher safely setting up and lighting the bunsen burner.

Your turn! Follow these steps to safely set up and use the Bunsen Burner.

1. Put on safety specs.
2. Set up the apparatus as shown in the picture below.

3. Half fill the beaker with water.
4. Light the Bunsen, turn to the silent blue flame. Once the condensation has cleared turn to the roaring flame.
5. Heat until water boils then switch off.
6. Wait for equpment to cool before putting away.

Drawing diagrams of Apparatus

A simple diagram like the one below can be drawn of the apparatus that you used for your experiment.

Can you think of the advantages of using the simple diagram instead of a sketch?

Write the heading 'Boiling Water in A Beaker' in your jotter.

Draw a simple diagram of the apparatus that you used in your experiment.

Science Diagrams

Rules for drawing science diagrams:

• A diagram should be a simple 2D shape.
• Use a ruler and a pencil.
• Your diagram should take up 1/3 to 1/2 of a page.
• Label the apparatus you used.

Use these rules to draw and label diagrams for the pieces of apparatus on the worksheet below.
