Micro Spatula: practical apparatus
What Micro Spatula Is Used For
Micro Spatula is practical apparatus for supporting practical chemistry work. In GCSE or introductory practical science, the annotated diagram helps connect the apparatus to the method, measurement, or observation being tested.
How To Use It In An Exam Answer
Use the marker labels to name the apparatus first, then say why it is suitable. A strong answer links micro spatula to supporting practical chemistry work, rather than only saying that it is used in a lab.

Common Trap
Do not describe apparatus by appearance only. Marks usually come from explaining its function in the practical method.
