to stir liquids and other mixtures
Some 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.
It is used to stir hot chemicals in a beaker or other containers
It is used to stir liquids in a container(like beaker erlenmeyer flask and graduated cylinder). ella17
Is "stirring" too obvious an answer? It's also sometimes used for decanting a supernatant liquid or scratching the side of a vessel to induce crystallization, but stirring is the main one.
umm...it is a ROD used to STIR ?! :P
It is used to stir and mix liquids. ;)
It does what its name implies: allows the chemist to stir an experiment.
The stirring rod is an accessory for magnetic stirrers.
It is surely self explanatory. To stir.
Ah, the humble stirring rod; most often used as a stirring apparatus. In other words, the stirring rod is mostly used for stirring things.
It's best not to, as thermometers can be quite fragile. A glass rod is preferable. (That said, you can get so-called stirring rod thermometers, made to be more robust, but they tend not to be very accurate and are really only meant for lower grade chemistry.)
stirring rod
often when performing experiments in chemistry you are using dangerous chemicals. the purpose of the glass stirring rod is to a) slowly pour in the liquids so that it will not splash on you or your lab partners and b) to ensure that your pour the right amount of liquid into the solution. i.e. titration. However the main reason for the stirring rod is just to ensure safety.

The Stirring rod is a long rod made of glass, but sometimes plastic, used to stir liquids. The rod is typically as thick as a pencil and between 6 and 12 inches long.

The function is in the name: a glass stirring rod is used to stir solutions or mixtures. Mixing will speed up any reaction that takes place in the test tube or flask. A glass stirring rod can also be used for decanting (pouring off) a liquid from a precipitate or sediment.
