Kit for Demonstrating Plant Respiration (Product Code: SCL217/09) provides the support stand and glassware for classroom set-ups showing that plants, like animals, respire and release carbon dioxide. A stand on a metal rod with a metal ring of 90 mm clamping diameter holds apparatus steady above a 600 ml chemical glass, so a teacher can assemble a clear, stable demonstration on the front bench. As plant biology lab equipment it fits the respiration unit of school biology courses and is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Stand | Metal rod, 600 mm long |
| Ring | Metal ring with 90 mm clamping diameter |
| Glassware | Chemical glass (beaker), 600 ml |
| Purpose | Demonstrating respiration in plants |
A common arrangement uses the ring to hold a funnel, flask or container of living plant material, such as germinating seeds, flowers or leafy shoots, above or beside the 600 ml chemical glass, which holds an indicator or water depending on the version of the experiment the class is following. Students then look for a change in the indicator or in the water level showing that the plant material has used oxygen or given off carbon dioxide. The kit provides the stand, ring and glass; living material and indicator solutions such as lime water are prepared separately.
Running a parallel set-up with boiled (dead) seeds gives a simple control and helps students see that the effect comes from living tissue, which makes this a useful biology experiment kit for students learning to plan a fair test. Tighten the ring firmly on the 600 mm rod before loading it, keep the chemical glass on a level bench, and wash and dry the glassware after use.
The kit is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the Ambala, Haryana company whose school and college apparatus is sold under the ScienceLab name. Visit the company profile for an overview of its biology range.

What is supplied in this kit?
A stand with a 600 mm metal rod, a metal ring with 90 mm clamping diameter and a 600 ml chemical glass.
Are seeds, plants or indicator solutions included?
No. Living material is prepared by the school, and Lime Water is available separately as a carbon dioxide indicator.
What size of apparatus will the ring hold?
The ring has a 90 mm clamping diameter, so check that your funnel or flask fits within it before the lesson.
Can the stand be used for other experiments?
Yes. The rod and ring work as general bench support for filtration and other simple biology or chemistry set-ups.
How long does the demonstration take?
It depends on temperature and on how much living material is used; many teachers set it up at the start of the day and read the result later.
What information does a school quotation need?
The number of kits, delivery address and any extra glassware or indicator you want included. We supply India and international markets.
For school orders, send your quantity and delivery details through the contact page, or place the kit in the enquiry cart along with lime water and spare glassware.
