What is the difference between flask and beaker?

The main differing characteristic between a flask and a beaker is that beakers have straight sides, rather than slanted sides like a flask. Beakers are mainly for measuring and transporting liquids from one site to the next.

Can you heat a beaker?

How do I get my baby to use a beaker?

When can I give my baby a beaker?
