ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Tripod (laboratory)

Okay kiddo, you know how when we take pictures, we need to use something to hold the camera steady so the picture doesn't come out blurry? Well, in science, we also need to hold things steady so we can do experiments and measure things accurately.

That's where a tripod comes in! It's like a three-legged stool that we can place our equipment on. It helps keep everything steady and in place so we can do our experiments without things moving around too much.

Some things in science are really delicate and need to be handled carefully, so using a tripod helps make sure we don't accidentally bump something or make it fall over. It's kind of like being a superhero and saving the day by making sure everything stays safe and secure!

So, that's what a tripod in the laboratory does! It helps make sure our experiments are consistent, accurate, and safe.
