the equipment is the flint striker. it is used to light an alcohol lamp. safety rules that you need to follow is dont be playing with the striker if you arent using it at the time. you may use a flint striker if you are using a alcohol lamp to heat up mixtures. the flint striker can be use with the burner as well as the alcohol lamp. the alcohol lamp can be use with the apparatus also known as a support stand. once the alcohol lamp is lite you can put the support stand over the flames and place a flask of a beaker with a solution on top.

An'Janea and Adrian,

Awesome job describing the flint striker! Do you find that matches are sometimes easier to use than a flint striker? It took me a while to learn how properly light the alcohol lamp.

An'Janae and Adrian,

What a great description of the flint striker!  I really like that you included how important it is not to play with a flint striker if you are not using it for a lab.  I also like how you showed a flint striker is used in combination with other materials to carry out an experiment in the lab.  Keep up the great work!
