Beaker
What is a "beaker"?
A beaker is a type of drinking vessel typically made of plastic and often without a handle. It is characterized by its cylindrical shape with a wide opening and straight sides. Beakers are commonly used for serving beverages such as water, juice, or soft drinks, particularly in informal settings such as schools, picnics, or outdoor events. They are lightweight, durable, and easy to clean, making them suitable for use by children or for serving drinks on-the-go. Beakers may come in various sizes and colors, and they are often stackable for convenient storage.
Example
The chemist poured the liquid into a beaker for analysis.
The conical beaker narrowed to a pointed tip, allowing for precise pouring of liquids.
The lab technician used beaker tongs to transfer a hot crucible from the furnace to the desiccator for cooling and weighing.
The chemistry student used beaker tongs to lift the hot glass beaker off the Bunsen burner after heating the solution.
In the science class, an accidental mixture of substances caused the beakers to blow up.
