Earthworm (Product Code: SCL480/0205) is a laminated wall chart used to teach the earthworm, the annelid most zoology syllabuses use to introduce segmented animals, in school and college biology classes. Students know earthworms from gardens and compost heaps, so the 75 x 100 cm polyart chart lets a teacher start from familiar ground and move on to segmentation, locomotion and soil health. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

The earthworm is the classic example of metameric segmentation: the body is divided into a series of similar ring-like segments, and many organs repeat from one segment to the next. Lessons normally cover the thickened band called the clitellum, the tiny bristles or setae that grip the soil while circular and longitudinal muscles alternately contract, and the closed circulatory system. Earthworms are hermaphrodites, yet two worms still exchange sperm, and the clitellum later secretes the cocoon in which the eggs develop — a point that surprises most students.
A good practical is to let students watch a live worm crawl across damp paper and listen for the setae scratching, then compare what they saw with the chart. Many schools now pair charts with prepared slides of earthworm sections instead of dissecting animals, which keeps the anatomy lesson while reducing animal use; the chart is equally at home as school biology lab equipment for a guided dissection. It also supports environmental lessons on how burrowing aerates soil and how earthworms turn plant waste into vermicompost.
The Earthworm chart is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited — ScienceLab — as the OEM (original equipment manufacturer), at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. We sell factory-direct to schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers, so the people who make the chart are the ones who quote for it and deal with any later request for extra or replacement copies. Our company profile gives an overview of the business.

Which earthworm species does the Earthworm chart show?
The product details for the Earthworm chart do not name the species. Textbooks differ: Indian syllabuses often use Pheretima, while many others use Lumbricus, so ask us through the contact page to confirm which earthworm the current artwork shows before ordering.
Can the Earthworm chart replace a dissection?
The Earthworm chart can support an anatomy lesson without a dissection. Combined with prepared section slides, it lets students learn internal structure without dissecting animals, while schools that still dissect use it as the reference during the practical.
What exactly is supplied with the Earthworm chart?
The Earthworm chart is supplied as one laminated polyart sheet measuring 75 x 100 cm. No stand, frame or hanging rods are listed, so if you need display fittings, mention them in your enquiry and ask what can be included.
Is the Earthworm chart suitable for environmental science or agriculture lessons?
Yes. The earthworm’s role in aerating soil and turning plant waste into vermicompost makes the Earthworm chart useful beyond the zoology unit, for example in environmental science, agriculture or school garden projects.
Who manufactures the Earthworm chart?
The Earthworm chart is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations for code SCL480/0205 and any repeat or replacement orders are handled by the manufacturer without a middleman.
Can the Earthworm chart be quoted with other zoology charts?
Yes. List the Earthworm chart and every other title you need, with the number of copies of each, in one enquiry, and the manufacturer will send a combined quotation for delivery within India or to international markets.
How do I keep the Earthworm chart clean?
Wipe the laminated face of the Earthworm chart gently with a soft cloth, slightly damp if needed, and let it dry before rolling. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners, which can dull or scratch the lamination.
For a quotation on the Earthworm chart, please use the contact page or the enquiry cart. Schools, colleges and laboratories across India and international markets receive their quote directly from the manufacturer.
