!Test Tubes and Lab Equipment Related To It!

Below is a picture of a test tube. Test Tubes are used for mixing chemicals or just stuff.  Bre and I were given many of them!


Below is a picture of a Test Tube Rack and a test tube rack holds Test Tubes so that they are not rolling all over the place.


Under all of this very boring writing is a picture of a Test Tube Brush.... Personally I thought it was a tiny toilet brush.... But a test tube brush is used to clean test tubes, NOT TOILETS! 



Next is tweezers... or also known as forceps, are used instead of fingers, so that you can grasp small or gross objects... For example, discecting frogs... eww.
