This activity can be used to introduce general lab equipment. I designed this activity for the first week of school. Use this activity as a presentation, lab station cards, study cards, or a journal activity. For each slide, there is a picture of the equipment, function and a brief task for students to perform. Equipment covered: beaker, graduated cylinder, test tube, test tube clamp, petri dish, hot plate, thermometer, microscope, stereoscope, hand lens, Florence flask, dissecting equipment
