This teaching material has been divided into three puzzles according to the type of the laboratory equipment: (i) glassware as reaction vessels or containers; (ii) glassware for measuring, addition or separation; and (iii) lab plastic, metal, and porcelainware. The first puzzle is included in this article. The other two puzzles and all the answers are provided as online material.
