Minerals In Our Food Collection Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

The Minerals In Our Food Collection (Product Code: SLE/ES/13) connects geology with the kitchen table. Its six numbered specimens, each approximately 1 1/2 in x 1 1/2 in, represent some of the many minerals, from calcium to zinc, that end up in common foods and vitamins or are used in food processing and preserving. The collection helps students understand how we depend on minerals for daily nutrition, and makes a compact addition to a health education kit in schools across India. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

Students are often surprised that the same elements found in rocks appear on food packets and vitamin labels. A good lesson starts by passing the numbered specimens around, then asking pairs to collect nutrition labels from home and find the minerals listed there. Each group matches a label entry to a specimen and researches one role that mineral plays, whether in the body or in processing and preserving food. The numbering makes it easy to run a quiz or a matching worksheet without writing on the specimens.

The collection suits earth science, biology and home science classes, and it can serve as a hands-on science kit in primary school nutrition topics as well as in higher classes. Remind students that these are rock and mineral specimens for observation only; they must never be tasted, and hands should be washed after handling.
