LAB EQUIPMENT & SAFETY - REVIEW

Professor Absent-Mind recently moved his chemistry lab. He has a tendency to be somewhat relaxed in his organizational skills; in other words, he has NONE! He does, however, have chemistry students that have graciously volunteered to help him organize the lab. The only issue is that the Professor has been called to go on a research study in the Amazon Forest, and has left you in charge of identifying and organizing all of the laboratory equipment. You have been given a list & 24 pictures of lab equipment that the professor has in his collection.  Follow the instructions carefully given below for each of the following activities.

Before you begin your task, I need to express the importance of LAB SAFETY!!!  Please take this information seriously to protect yourself and your lab partners!!!
