to stir liquids and other mixturesSome things in science have infuriating names that make memorizing for tests extremely difficult. What comes to mind is chromatin and chromatid. How do you remember what they are and how to keep the terms separate. This can be difficult due to their names.This is clearly not the case for stirring rod. It is a rod. It stirs. No mystery there.To stir caustic or reactive chemicals because glass is pretty unreactive, and it will not put pieces of burnt skin like stirring your sulfuric acid solution with your finger will.A stirring rod is used to mix chemicals and liquids.
