Where can I get a complete list of high school physics and chemistry lab equipments and apparatuses?

Answer 1

I don't think there is a complete list of recommended equipment, because it really depends on the kinds of experiments the students will be performing, which is up to the individual teacher in conjunction with the school district (you can't just teach anything you want, of course). It also comes down to a question of scale -- let's say you're doing a thermochemistry experiment in which you take various materials at room temperature and submerge them in boiling water, remove from the heat and measure how quickly the temperature changes. How much water and the various materials will you be using in your experiment? At a minimum, you'll need a Pyrex beaker, sturdy tongs for handling it, a ring stand to hold it over the Bunsen burner, the burner itself and associated tubing, plus whatever samples of metal you'll submerge, multiplied by the number of students (or lab partners) plus about 10% for breakage and loss. So really, you'll need to make your own shopping list, based on the syllabus for the class.

Answer 2

My first thought would be that if you had a specific catalog for school chemistry lab supplies, they probably have checklist guides that you could find on their website. Or, if it's like a homeschool book supplier, more than often if you call their help line, they would be happy to suggest the core supplies you need.
