powders for
experiments, usually
to better dissolve the
solids

14. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Pipet

of liquid from place
to place

15. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Erlenmeyer flasks
- allows the contents to be
swirled or stirred, the narrow
neck keeps contents from
spilling
- to heat and store liquids; since
the bottom is wider than the
top contents heat quicker
because of the greater surface
area exposed to the heat

16. Different Scientific Tools for the
Study of Biology
Funnel
