How Do I Identify Science Equipment for Kids on a Review Worksheet?
As a science teacher, you will be responsible for teaching children to recognize the equipment that is used in your classroom or science laboratory. Once they have been taught about the equipment during class, it is time for a review. Using a review worksheet can be one method. A thorough review includes pictures of the equipment, descriptions of their uses and their names.

Write the directions for the worksheet instructing the students to first match the picture on the right side of the paper with the description of its function on the left side of the paper by drawing a line from its description to its picture. Ask them to write the name of the equipment on the line below the pictures.

Tips & Warnings
If you want your worksheet to be more of a challenge, do not provide a word bank.
Instead of directing students to draw a line from the function to the corresponding picture, first number or letter the equipments' functions. Direct older students to match the function to the picture by placing the number (or letter) of the description on a line next to the picture.

Goodness but this was a useless 'lesson.' If we could find adequate pictures on the Internet, we wouldn't be asking for help. The one reference was fine, but did not include some important pieces of equipment.
