Geography Lab Equipment

The Solar System Model (Product Code: SLE/GG/01) is a classroom demonstration model of the planets revolving around the Sun, with the satellites (moons) of the planets also shown. The whole assembly is mounted on a base marked with the 12 zodiac signs, linking the planets’ paths to the constellations of the zodiac seen from Earth. Manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, it is used in geography rooms, science laboratories and astronomy clubs in schools.

Key Details

Typical Use

Teachers use the model to show the order of the planets outward from the Sun, the idea that planets travel in orbits while moons circle their planets, and the contrast between the small rocky inner planets and the large outer ones. Pointing to each planet in turn while students name it is a quick way to fix the sequence in memory before moving on to distances and orbital periods.

The zodiac ring on the base helps explain why the Sun appears to pass through different constellations during the year as Earth travels round it — a topic that is hard to follow from flat diagrams. The nine-planet layout also gives a ready discussion point: astronomers now class Pluto as a dwarf planet, so current textbooks list eight planets. Together with an Earth globe and a star globe, it forms a compact set of astronomy lab equipment for middle-school geography and science.

Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited manufactures this model in Ambala, Haryana, under its trading name ScienceLab, as part of a wider range of geography and science teaching aids. Our company profile has further details.

The Earth Globe Model (Product Code: SLE/GG/02) is a sectional globe that opens up to show the layers inside the Earth. It is built from 7 detachable parts: lifting them away one at a time reveals the outer edge of each layer in turn, and once the upper crust is removed the inner core and its surrounding layers come into view. Each layer is finished in a different colour. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for geography and earth science teaching in schools.

Specifications

Typical Use

The model turns a flat textbook diagram of the Earth’s interior into something students can take apart. Teachers remove the parts in sequence while naming each layer, then ask a student to rebuild the globe in the right order — a quick check that the class has understood which layer lies where.

The colour coding helps when explaining how temperature and pressure rise with depth, why the outer core is liquid while the inner core is solid, and how the study of earthquake waves revealed this layered structure. Displayed beside a volcano cross-section and a seismograph model, it anchors a geography lab equipment corner on the dynamic Earth.

Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the brand name used by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited of Ambala, Haryana, which manufactures geography and science teaching models. The company is a registered MSME enterprise (Udyam UDYAM-HR-01-0003714), and export consignments are shipped under Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A issued by DGFT. See the company profile for more.

The Volcano Model (Product Code: SLE/GG/03) is a realistic, hand-painted resin model of a volcano cut through by a vertical section, so students can follow the path magma takes on its upward course through the volcano. It is securely mounted on a sturdy base for display and for handling in class. The model is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for geography and earth science departments in schools.

Key Details

Typical Use

Using the vertical section, teachers trace the route magma follows on its way up and link it to the terms students meet in textbooks, such as magma chamber, vent, crater and lava flow. Seeing the inside of the cone makes it much easier to explain why pressure builds before an eruption and where the erupted material comes from.

The model pairs well with rock samples: igneous rocks such as basalt or pumice show what magma becomes once it cools. Its resin body and sturdy base make it suitable for passing around a small group or standing on a display shelf, and schools building up geography models often place it next to an Earth-interior globe so students can connect the molten layers below the crust with activity at the surface.

Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited is the company behind ScienceLab and manufactures teaching models like this volcano from Ambala, Haryana, India. Learn more on our company profile page.

The Fractures, Faults and Dislocations Model (Product Code: SLE/GG/04) shows five different structural features of the Earth’s crust in cross-section, illustrating the structures associated with fault planes and fractures. It is made of coloured, unbreakable material, mounted on a base and numbered, with an English key card identifying each feature. The model is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for geography and geology teaching in schools and colleges.

Key Details

Typical Use

Students match each numbered feature to the key card and describe what has happened to the rock: where it has cracked without moving, and where blocks have slipped past each other along a fault plane. The colouring makes offsets between layers easy to follow, so even beginners can see which side has moved up or down.

Teachers use the model to support lessons on the main fault types — normal, reverse and strike-slip — and on how such movements relate to earthquakes and to landforms such as rift valleys and block mountains; the key card confirms which structures the five sections represent. Because it is made of unbreakable material, it can be handed round a group, which makes it a practical addition to geography lab equipment for secondary schools and undergraduate geology.

The Class Rock Pack (Product Code: SLE/GG/05) is a complete rock identification lesson in one pack. Over 55 geological samples — igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks together with soil samples — are used with a central laminated flow chart that students follow to identify each sample from characteristics such as texture and permeability. Supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, it is designed to cover the earth science sections of Key Stages 2, 3 and 4.

Specifications

Typical Use

Groups take a sample, work down the flow chart’s questions — is it made of interlocking crystals or separate grains? does water soak in or run off? — and arrive at a rock group or soil type. A few drops of water from a dropper are enough to test permeability, and a hand lens helps students judge texture, so the lesson stays practical rather than relying on pictures.

Because the pack spans three key stages, the same samples can serve simple sorting activities for younger pupils and discussions of how each rock group forms for older students. The plastic containers keep samples organised between lessons, and the Teacher’s Notes give confidence to staff who are not geology specialists. As an earth science kit, it gives a whole class hands-on material at once instead of a single display set at the front of the room.

Supplier

This rock pack is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, and sources geological specimens for school laboratories alongside its own teaching apparatus. Read more on our company profile.

Clever Catch Rocks (Product Code: SLE/GG/06) is a question ball for learning about rocks and their properties through play. The ball is tossed around the classroom, and the student who catches it answers the question under their left thumb. It is latex free and comes with a teacher’s guide that contains the answers. Supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, it is a lively revision tool for earth science lessons in primary and middle school.

Key Details

Typical Use

Teachers bring out the ball for a short warm-up at the start of a rocks lesson or a quick review before a test. Nobody knows who will catch next, so the whole class stays alert, and because the question depends on where the thumb lands, the same ball keeps producing fresh combinations over many sessions.

The teacher’s guide lets the teacher confirm answers on the spot and add a follow-up — for example, asking the student to pick out a matching specimen from the class rock collection. Being latex free, it is a considerate choice where latex sensitivity is a concern, and it gives schools a simple way to add movement and talk to earth science teaching aids that are otherwise mostly specimens and charts.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab in Ambala, Haryana, supplies this question ball as part of its geography and earth science range for schools. Find out more in our company profile.

The Expanded Rock Collection (Product Code: SLE/GG/07) contains 45 different rock specimens — 15 each of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks — to start or extend a school rock collection. Each specimen measures approximately 38mm x 38mm, and every category is well represented, so the set works as an integrated classroom study unit. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for geography and earth science teaching.

Specifications

Specimens named in the product listing:

• Igneous: Pegmatite, Granite, Syenite, Gabbro, Rhyolite Porphyry, Trachyte Porphyry, Basalt, Rhyolite, Andesite, Tuff, Obsidian, Pitchstone, Pumice, Scoria
• Metamorphic: Gneiss

Typical Use

Rocks are a window into the Earth’s past — how the planet formed, what happened before humans appeared and when the continents took shape — and this collection lets students read that record for themselves. Sorting the specimens into igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic groups is the natural first activity. Students then compare textures within a group, for example coarse-grained granite and gabbro against fine-grained basalt and glassy obsidian, and relate crystal size to how quickly the rock cooled.

Frothy pumice and scoria show gas escaping from lava, while gneiss shows the banding produced when rock is changed by heat and pressure. With equal numbers in each group, the collection suits station-based lessons in which groups rotate between igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic tables, and it makes a sound core for an earth science kit in a school geography room.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, supplies this natural specimen collection from Ambala, Haryana. For vendor registration, the company is incorporated under CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597 and registered for GST under GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT. Visit the company profile for more.

The Mineral Study Kit (Product Code: SLE/GG/08) brings together 15 important minerals as number-coded, 1-inch specimens that learners can handle, test and study one by one. The set ranges from soft talc and three forms of gypsum to magnetite, metallic pyrite and milky quartz, and it can also be added to an existing rock and mineral collection. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for geography, earth science and chemistry classrooms.

Specifications

The 15 specimens in the kit:

• Fluorite
• Feldspar – Microcline
• Hematite
• Mica – Muscovite
• Magnetite
• Mica – Biotite
• Graphite
• Gypsum – Alabaster
• Talc
• Halite
• Gypsum – Satin Spar
• Gypsum – Selenite
• Pyrite
• Milky Quartz
• Calcite

Typical Use

Students work through simple property tests on each numbered specimen. Scratch tests compare hardness — talc is the softest mineral on the Mohs scale, while quartz is hard enough to scratch glass. A streak test on an unglazed plate shows that hematite leaves a reddish-brown streak even when the specimen looks dark, and a small magnet picks out magnetite straight away.

The two micas peel into thin flexible sheets, a clear example of cleavage; graphite marks paper, which explains its use in pencils; and the three gypsum forms — alabaster, satin spar and selenite — show how one mineral can look very different. Calcite’s reaction with dilute acid is best shown by the teacher. Because the specimens are number-coded, teachers can run blind identification quizzes, and adding a streak plate and a hand lens turns the kit into a complete mineral testing station for an earth science kit or geography lab.

Supplier

ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, supplies this mineral set to schools and colleges alongside its own teaching apparatus. More about us is on the company profile.

Rock Study Kit (Product Code: SLE/GG/09) is a compact earth science kit built around 15 rock specimens representing the igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic families. Each specimen is about 1 inch across and carries a number code, so students can match what they see under the included magnifier with the identification key and the written description for that rock. It suits geography and general science classes in middle and secondary school, as well as nature-study clubs and teacher-training sessions. The kit is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

Typical Use

In a typical lesson, students first sort the 15 specimens into the three rock families using visible clues such as crystal size, layering or banding, then confirm their grouping with the identification key. The magnifier helps them look closely at grain size, texture, colour and visible crystals — the physical properties that separate, for example, a coarse-grained igneous rock from a layered sedimentary one. Teachers often pair the activity with a rock-cycle diagram so learners can explain how each type forms and changes into another.

Because the specimens are number-coded and kept in a 5 x 7 inch display box, the kit works well as a reusable station for group rotations and practical assessments: the teacher calls out a number and students name the rock type and justify their answer. For schools building up their geography lab equipment, it is a low-maintenance starting point before moving on to larger collections. Returning every specimen to the display box after class keeps the set complete for the next group.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited operates under the ScienceLab name from Ambala, Haryana, and serves schools, colleges and distributors with educational laboratory equipment. As the specimens in this kit are natural rock samples, ScienceLab supplies the kit rather than claiming to make the rocks; enquiries from India and international markets are handled directly by the Ambala team. Learn more on our company profile page.

Sieves (Product Code: SLE/GG/10) is a set of 6 screen sieves with a bottom pan and lid, used to separate soil and rock samples into size fractions and grade them so students can work out the make-up of soil strata. Screen openings step down from 4 mm to 0.1 mm, giving a clear picture of how much coarse, medium and fine material a sample holds. Geography, earth science and environmental studies teachers use it for soil texture practicals and to follow up field trips. This piece of school lab equipment is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

For a particle-size practical, students dry a soil sample, gently break up any lumps and place it on the coarsest screen. The sieves are then used as a stack — 4 mm at the top, finer meshes below and the pan at the bottom — with the lid in place to stop fine dust escaping while the stack is shaken. Each screen holds back the particles too large to pass, so the material left on every level can be tipped out, weighed and recorded as a share of the whole sample.

Comparing results from topsoil, subsoil and a stream-bed or quarry sample shows learners why some ground drains quickly while other ground stays waterlogged, and how layers in a soil profile differ. The same set supports environmental science projects on erosion and sediment sorting. After each use, tap the screens clean and brush them lightly from the underside so fine particles do not clog the 0.1 mm mesh.

Manufacturer

The sieve set is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the Ambala, Haryana company that trades as ScienceLab and makes educational laboratory equipment for schools, colleges and training institutes. Orders are prepared at the company’s Ambala facility for customers across India and international markets. Our company profile gives more background on ScienceLab.

Geology History Kit (Product Code: SLE/GG/11) lets students recreate geologic processes by building their own stratified layers from Pleistocene clay, then shaping and cutting them to see how rock strata record the history of a landscape. The kit brings 4 packs of clay, a roller, a cutting tool, plastic sheets and a Teacher’s Guide together in one kit, making it a practical hands-on science kit for geography and earth science lessons on sedimentation, folding and faulting. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for schools and teacher-training institutes.

Specifications

Typical Use

Working on the plastic sheets, students flatten clay with the roller into thin slabs and stack them one on another, just as sediments settle in a lake or sea over thousands of years. Once a stack is built, they can push the ends inward to model folding, slice through it with the cutting tool to create a fault, or trim the top and lay fresh slabs over it to show an unconformity. Cutting a clean vertical section then exposes the “rock record” so the class can apply the principle that lower layers were laid down first.

With the Teacher’s Guide to hand, the model-making format suits both demonstrations at the front of the class and small-group work. Keep opened clay wrapped between lessons so it stays workable, and wipe the roller and cutting tool before storing them in the kit.

Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the brand name used by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, a manufacturer of teaching and laboratory equipment located in Ambala, Haryana. The company develops geography and science kits for classrooms and supplies them to institutions throughout India and to international markets.

Seismograph Model (Product Code: SLE/GG/12) is a newly revised, small table-top unit that shows students how earthquakes are measured and how their intensity is worked out. Pupils create their own simulated tremors, the seismograph records how strong each one is, and the class sees why scientists rate earthquakes on the Richter scale. Geography and earth science teachers use it to turn a textbook topic into a quick, memorable investigation. Like the other geography models in our range, it is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, and comes with a detailed Teacher’s Guide.

Key Details

Typical Use

Set the unit on a firm, level table and let students generate “earthquakes” of different strengths — a light tap, a firm knock, a longer shake. For each event the seismograph records the intensity, and the class compares the recordings to see how a stronger disturbance produces a larger response. The friendly challenge of trying to “top the Richter scale” keeps every group engaged while they learn what the scale actually measures.

The lesson can then widen into plate tectonics: why earthquakes cluster along plate boundaries, how seismic stations in different places record the same event, and why the Richter scale is logarithmic, so a small step up the scale means much stronger ground motion. Keep the model away from the table edge during vigorous shaking and let it settle fully before starting the next run.

Manufacturer

This model comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and designs and builds educational apparatus in Ambala, Haryana. Schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets order from the same catalogue. Read the company profile for an overview of ScienceLab.

Advanced Fossil Collection (Product Code: SLE/GG/13) is a comprehensive set of 30 fossils chosen as demonstration specimens of animal phyla and plants from the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic. With a descriptive key sheet and a geologic time chart, it lets senior school and college students connect each specimen to its group and its place in Earth’s history. The collection is equally useful to geography, geology and biology departments, where it serves as one of the more detailed biology teaching aids for evolution topics. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

Typical Use

A common approach is to give each group a handful of specimens and ask them to identify the phylum or plant group using the descriptive key sheet, then place each fossil on the geologic time chart. When the whole class combines its results, the chart shows how life changed from the Paleozoic through the Mesozoic to the Cenozoic — a strong visual for lessons on evolution, extinction events and the idea of index fossils used to date rock layers.

Because the set spans both animals and plants across three eras, it also supports comparative work in biology, such as tracing how body plans within a phylum persist or change over time. Handle specimens over a tray or cloth-covered bench, keep the key sheet with the collection and count the pieces back in after each session so all 30 stay together.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab from Ambala in Haryana, supplies this collection as part of its earth science and geography range. Since fossils are natural specimens, the company supplies rather than manufactures them, and it serves institutions across India and in international markets. More about the business is on our profile page.

• Variation And Evolution Fossil Kit — extends the collection into activities on variation and evolution.
• Hand Lens — for examining fine surface detail on each fossil.
• Storage Boxes – Rock – Mineral Specimens — secure storage for specimen collections.

The full range is in our Geography Lab Equipment category.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many fossils are in the collection, and from which eras?
Thirty fossils representing animal phyla and plants from the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic.

How is it different from the General Fossil Collection?
The advanced set has 30 specimens organised around animal phyla and plants across three eras, while the General Fossil Collection has 15 fossils for introducing major life forms. Both include a key sheet and a geologic time chart.

Can I see the list of specimens before ordering?
Yes. Please request the current specimen list through our contact page before placing your order.

How should the fossils be handled and stored?

General Fossil Collection (Product Code: SLE/GG/14) is an introductory selection of 15 fossils that illustrates the major life forms present throughout geologic history. A descriptive key sheet and a geologic time chart guide students as they learn to recognise basic fossils and match each one to its era, which makes the set a natural fit for middle-school geography, general science and early biology lessons. As practical junior science lab equipment, it gives learners real specimens to hold instead of textbook pictures. The collection is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

Many teachers run the collection as a matching challenge: pairs of students pick a fossil, describe its shape and texture, look it up on the descriptive key sheet and then place it on the correct band of the geologic time chart. With only 15 pieces, the whole set can be worked through in a single lesson, and the finished chart becomes a timeline the class can discuss — which life forms appear early, which come later, and what that suggests about how life on Earth developed.

The collection also makes a good starting point for explaining how fossils form, why most are found in sedimentary rock and what they tell us about past environments. For younger groups, laying a long paper strip on the floor as a timeline and walking the fossils along it helps them grasp the scale of geologic time. Keep the pieces in their packaging between lessons and check the count before putting the set away.

Supplier

ScienceLab is how Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, an Ambala, Haryana company, presents its educational range to schools and colleges. The fossils in this collection are natural specimens that the company supplies alongside the key sheet and time chart; it does not describe them as manufactured items.

Astronomy Clever Catch (Product Code: SLE/GG/15) is a 24-inch question ball that turns astronomy revision into a game. Players toss the ball to one another, and whoever catches it reads out and answers the astronomy question found under their left thumb. It is a creative way for children to learn astronomy concepts, and the included list of game suggestions, directions and answers means teachers can start playing straight away. Primary and middle-school teachers, science clubs and activity centres use it as a lively addition to their astronomy lab equipment. The game is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Key Details

Typical Use

Arrange students in a circle and start with a simple round: the catcher reads the question under their left thumb, answers it, and tosses the ball on. Because the ball offers many variations of play, teachers can switch formats to suit the lesson — team scoring, “pass it on” where the next player must answer, or a quick-fire round to revise planets, stars and the Moon before a test. The answer list lets the teacher or a student referee confirm responses without slowing the game.

The game works well as a warm-up at the start of a space unit, as an end-of-term review, or as a break between more formal activities with models and globes. Play in a hall or open classroom space away from lights and glassware, and wipe the ball with a slightly damp cloth after use to keep the printed questions readable.

Celestial Star Globe (Product Code: SLE/GG/16) is a 12-inch diameter globe that clearly and simply demonstrates the apparent relationship between Earth and the stars, planets, galaxies and other celestial objects. It can be set for a chosen time and place so that the constellations sit in their actual positions, giving a class its own small planetarium on the desk. Geography, physics and astronomy teachers use it to explain the night sky before students go outside to observe it. This piece of educational science equipment is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, and comes with a detailed study guide.

Specifications

Typical Use

Start by setting the globe for your school’s location and the date and hour of a planned observation. Students can then pick out which constellations will be above the horizon that evening and in which direction to look — a practical bridge between classroom theory and real stargazing. Turning the globe through a night shows why stars appear to rise and set as Earth rotates, and repeating the setting for another season shows why the visible constellations change through the year.

Because the globe is printed on the inside, a crayon can be used to plot where the Moon or a planet sits among the background stars. Plotting the Moon on several evenings in a row is an effective project that reveals its steady eastward drift. Use crayon only for marking, and store the globe covered to keep it free of dust between lessons.

Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited produces the Celestial Star Globe under its ScienceLab brand in Ambala, Haryana, where the company makes geography and science teaching equipment. Schools, colleges and education distributors in India and international markets buy directly from the company. The company profile has further information.

Orbiter Model (Product Code: SLE/GG/17) is a gear-driven model of the Sun, Earth and Moon that shows how the three bodies move in relation to one another. A 15-inch arm carries a 4-inch Earth and a 1-inch Moon around a 6-inch Sun, so students can watch daylight and night, the seasons and the phases of the Moon play out in front of them — and answer questions such as how many days Earth takes to revolve around the Sun. It is a dependable Sun-Earth-Moon demonstration model for geography and general science classrooms, manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, and supplied with a study guide.

Specifications

Typical Use

Place the model on a front bench where the whole class can see it and move the Earth slowly along its path. Because the model is gear-driven, the Moon keeps its correct relationship to Earth as the arm turns, so one continuous demonstration can cover several ideas: the side of Earth facing the Sun has day while the other has night, the Moon’s changing position gives its sequence of phases, and Earth’s position around the Sun links to the seasons. Pausing at key points and asking students to predict the next phase keeps the lesson interactive.

Together with the included study guide, the model is useful both for introducing the topic and for revision before exams. Handle the arm gently rather than forcing it, keep the gears free of dust and store the model upright so the Earth and Moon stay correctly aligned.

Manufacturer

The Orbiter Model is one of the teaching models made by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which does business as ScienceLab from Ambala in Haryana. The company builds apparatus for school and college laboratories and ships to customers in India and international markets. Find out more on the ScienceLab company profile.

Project Planetarium Set (Product Code: SLE/GG/18) brings the mysteries of the solar system into the classroom at desk level. Designed for individual or small-group use, it lets students plot eclipses, moon phases and planet positions for themselves, using the study guide, solar system chart and mini Sun-Moon-Earth model included in the set. Part planetarium and part solar system model kit, it suits project work, science-fair preparation and practical astronomy lessons in middle and secondary school. The set is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Key Details

Typical Use

Working in pairs or small teams, students use the mini Sun-Moon-Earth model to arrange the three bodies for a solar eclipse, with the Moon between the Sun and Earth, and then for a lunar eclipse, with Earth in the middle. They sketch each arrangement and explain why eclipses do not happen every month. The same model helps them track the Moon around Earth and record the sequence of phases they would see from home over several weeks.

The solar system chart moves the activity outward: students plot where the planets are relative to the Sun and to each other, which is a natural launch point for independent projects or class presentations. Because each set serves one learner or a small group, teachers can run several sets side by side and compare results between teams. Keep the chart flat and the small model parts together in the set after each session.

Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited makes the Project Planetarium Set and markets it under the ScienceLab name from Ambala, Haryana, alongside a wider range of astronomy and geography teaching aids.

Mineral Test Kit (Product Code: SLE/GG/19) supplies students with the tools they need for rock, mineral and fossil identification, packed together in a zip-lock pouch for easy storage. The kit contains a penny, streak plate, hand lens, dropper bottle, glass plate, magnet, nail and hardness scale — everything needed to run the classic streak, scratch-hardness and magnetism tests on unknown samples. Geography and earth science teachers hand it to groups during identification practicals and field work, making it a practical science kit for students of all levels. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

What each item is used for:

• Penny, nail and glass plate — everyday reference objects for scratch-hardness comparisons.
• Hardness scale — for ranking a sample once the scratch tests are done.
• Streak plate — for revealing the colour of a mineral’s powder.
• Hand lens — a hand lens magnifier for crystal shape, lustre, grain and fossil detail.
• Magnet — for checking whether a sample is magnetic.
• Dropper bottle — for applying a few drops of a teacher-approved test liquid.

Typical Use

A typical identification practical works through the tests in order. Students first look at the sample under the hand lens, then rub it across the streak plate to see the colour of its powder, which is often more reliable than the colour of the lump itself. Next they try to scratch it with the penny and the nail, and check whether it scratches the glass plate; the results let them place the sample on the hardness scale. A quick pass with the magnet picks out magnetic minerals such as magnetite, and the dropper bottle can be used, under supervision, for a fizz test on carbonate rocks.

Recording each result in a simple table and comparing it with a mineral identification chart turns the kit into a proper investigation rather than a guessing game. Handle the glass plate with care, wipe the streak plate clean between samples, and repack every item in the zip-lock pouch so the next group receives a complete kit.

Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab from Ambala in Haryana, manufactures this test kit as part of its geography and earth science teaching range. The company serves schools, universities and education distributors in India and international markets. You can read about the company on our profile page.

Ocean Floor Raised Relief Map (Product Code: SLE/GG/20) is a 660 x 990 mm raised relief map of the world that captures the geography of both the land and the ocean floor. Ridges, mountains, continental shelves, trenches, continental slopes and islands stand out in relief, so students can see and feel the shape of the seabed that a flat atlas page hides. Geography and earth science departments use it as a wall or table display for lessons on plate tectonics, oceans and landforms, and framing options are available. The map is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

The map is at its most useful when students trace features with their fingers: following a mid-ocean ridge across an ocean basin, then finding a deep trench beside a chain of islands or a mountain coast. That comparison opens up the idea of plates pulling apart at ridges and sinking at trenches, and explains why earthquakes and volcanoes cluster where they do. Continental shelves and slopes give a clear picture of where the land really ends and the deep ocean begins.

Teachers also use the map for quizzes on ocean names and island groups, and alongside a flat political map to show how much of Earth’s relief lies under water. The tactile surface helps learners who understand shapes best by touch. Like any piece of geography lab equipment, it lasts longer when dusted with a soft, dry brush, kept out of strong direct sunlight and protected from heavy pressure on the raised areas.

Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known to customers as ScienceLab, produces relief maps and other geography models in Ambala, Haryana. The company supplies schools, colleges and education distributors in India and international markets. Our company profile explains more about ScienceLab.

Black Streak Plates (Product Code: SLE/GG/21) are 25 x 50 mm unglazed porcelain tiles for the streak test, one of the essential checks in mineral identification. Rubbing a mineral across the rough, unglazed surface leaves a line of powder, and the colour of that streak is a far steadier clue to a mineral’s identity than the colour of the specimen itself. The dark tile makes pale and white streaks easy to see, so these plates are a useful companion to white plates in school and college geology practicals. They are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as part of its range of school lab equipment for earth science.

Specifications

Typical Use

Hold the plate flat on the bench and draw a corner or edge of the mineral firmly across it in a single stroke. Students then compare the powder line with a streak chart or identification key and note the colour in their results table. Minerals that look alike in the hand — for example two dark metallic samples — often separate clearly on the plate, which is why the streak test sits alongside lustre, hardness and magnetism in almost every identification routine.

A black plate is the better choice when the expected streak is white, cream or very pale, since those colours disappear against a white tile. Very hard minerals may scratch the plate instead of leaving powder, and that result is itself worth recording. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth between samples so earlier streaks do not confuse the next reading, and replace a plate once its working area becomes worn or smooth.

Supplier

Streak plates are consumable test accessories, so Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the Ambala, Haryana company behind the ScienceLab name, supplies them as part of its mineral testing range. They are available to schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets together with the company’s wider geography range. More information is on our company profile.

• Streak Plates Glass — clear glass plates for the scratch-hardness test.
• Mineral Test Kit — a pouch of identification tools including a streak plate, magnet and hardness scale.
• Mineral Study Kit — mineral samples to streak-test.
• Mineral ID Starter Set — a beginner’s mineral identification set.

The full range is in Geography Lab Equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size are the Black Streak Plates?
Each tile measures 25 x 50 mm and is made of unglazed porcelain.

When should I use a black plate instead of a white one?
Use the black plate for minerals expected to leave a light-coloured streak; a white plate shows dark streaks better. Many labs keep both.

How many plates come in a pack?
The pack quantity is not listed on this page. Please confirm it, or request a specific quantity, through our contact page.

Can the plates be reused?
Yes. Wipe off the powder after each test; a plate can be used many times until its unglazed surface wears smooth.

Why is the plate unglazed?
A glaze would be too smooth to grind the mineral into powder. The unglazed porcelain surface provides the slight roughness the streak test needs.

Can you supply larger quantities for a school network or export?
Yes. We supply streak plates in quantity to institutions and distributors in India and international markets.

Streak Plates Glass (Product Code: SLE/GG/22) is a package of 10 clear glass plates, each 6 mm thick, for testing minerals in the classroom. Students try to scratch the plate with each specimen: minerals that cut into the glass are grouped as hard, and those that cannot are grouped as soft, giving a quick first sort before closer identification. The plates suit geography, earth science and geology practicals from middle school to college level. They are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as part of its lab consumables range for mineral testing.

Specifications

Typical Use

Lay the plate flat on a bench, hold it steady with one hand kept well away from the test area, and press a sharp point of the mineral firmly across the glass. Then wipe the spot with a finger or cloth: a true scratch remains as a groove, while a line that rubs away is only powder left by a softer mineral. Recording “scratches glass” or “does not scratch glass” for each specimen divides a mixed collection into hard and soft groups in minutes.

Because each package holds 10 plates, one can go to every group so the whole class tests at once. The glass result combines well with scratch tests using a coin or steel nail to narrow a specimen’s position on a hardness scale. Students should wear eye protection, keep the plate flat rather than holding it in the air, and set aside any plate that becomes chipped or heavily scratched.
