Beaker 100 mL modified http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/cml/saviselph/

$0.75 The 100-ml plastic tripour

beaker has been modified with a hole punched at the 100 ml level. A student can dip the beaker into a larger container of water and let the excess drip back to get an accurate 100-ml measurement.

Beaker 1000 mL modified http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/cml/saviselph/ $1.50

The 1000-ml (1 liter) plastic tripour beaker has been modified with slot punched at the 1000 ml level. A student can fill the beaker to the brim and allow the excess to drip into another container or tray to obtain an accurate 1000-ml measurement.

Syringe, 50 mL with stop http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/cml/saviselph

$4.70 The 50-ml syringe has been modified with a metal stop so

that when the plunger is pulled all the way to the stop, exactly 50 ml of liquid has been measured. By pushing down on the plunger from the 50-ml position until the notch in the middle of the plunger reaches the top of the plunger, 25 ml of liquid is measured.

Syringe, 50 mL modified for acid test http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/cml/saviselph $4.70 This syringe was specifically developed. Note the

differences between this syringe and the 50-ml syringe with stop. This plunger in this syringe is removable. There are also measurement notches on the plunger to assist students in determining how much gas was created by an acid and baking soda reaction. The top notch allows students to accurately measure 5 ml of acid.

Volume Tubehttp://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/cml/saviselph

$5.50 Students investigate how much gas is

created by the interaction of yeast with several different foods, including animal crackers. The volume tube is used to measure the volume of gas.

Funnel Stand http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/cml/saviselph/

$11.95 The SAVI/SELPH funnel stand provides a stable tool for

all students to use. The three wooden legs are removable, and the plastic funnel is easily cleaned.

Liquid measure in milliliters http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/cml/saviselph

$4.50 This 50-ml graduate includes a tactile

floating scale for use by students with visual impairments. The cylinder is used with the 50-ml syringe to measure small volumes of liquid. Students add liquid to the cylinder, and the float is dropped in. By pinching the scale at the spot where the scale intersects the cylinder rim, pulling out the scale, and then counting down from the top notch (0 mark) to the pinch spot, students can measure liquid volume to the nearest 2 ml.
