The science tool that's similar to tongs and tweezers, used to pick up and hold objects, is called forceps.

Here's a breakdown:

* Tongs are typically larger and used to grasp and hold larger objects.

* Tweezers are smaller and used to pick up and hold smaller, delicate objects.

* Forceps are a more general term and can be used to pick up a variety of objects, often in a laboratory setting. They come in various sizes and shapes to suit different applications.
