- which of them you know - which of them you have never seen - which of them you like to work with
3 a) Sort this laboratory equipment into the columns:
goggles lab tongs pestle cylinder spot plate Petri dish thermometer balance funnel flask mortar polarography evaporating dish test tube beaker desiccator furnace stirring rod watch glass pipet centrifuge crucible hydrometer ring clamp wire gauze burner flint lighter wash bottle hood spatula conductivity tester weighing paper filter paper

b) Work with a dictionary: find expressions concerning the laboratory equipment that you still miss in the previous table and add them to the list.
c) Make sentences using the following verbs in connection with the laboratory equipment from exercise 3a). Work in pairs.
place heat evaporate remove dissolve pour splash scratch attach pick up insert support dispense measure rinse separate crush grind collect weigh fill stir fold ignite
4 Work in pairs or make a competition in teams. Choose 5 items of the lab equipment, prepare their description (material, shape colour, usage). Take turns in describing and guessing the defined objects.
5 Work in pairs or small groups: You are supposed to equip a chemical laboratory for the first year training at our school. With limited space and finance you have to agree on a list of 15 items that are indispensable. When discussing which ones these should be, use various ways of expressing agreement or disagreement: e.g.: I cant agree, it can be replaced with.... Absolutely. I agree with you, but...
6 Match the following verbs in column A with the nouns in column B.
A B 1. to evaporate A your eyes 2. to pour B a glass vessel 3. to measure C electricity 4. to separate D some water 5. to protect E a liquid into a container 6. to collect F gases inside 7. to conduct G chemicals 8. to support H the mass of an object 9. to scratch I a mixture 10. to transfer J the test tubes
