Rock Study Kit
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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What comes in the Rock Study Kit?
Fifteen number-coded rock specimens, a magnifier, a 5 x 7 inch display box, a rock identification key and descriptions introducing each specimen. Contact us if you need the names of the individual rocks.
Which rock groups does the kit cover?
Igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. The kit focuses on basic rock types, so it is best suited to introductory and middle-school earth science work.
Is one kit enough for a whole class?
It is designed for close study by a small group sharing the magnifier and key. For whole-class practicals, schools usually order several kits or combine one with the Class Rock Pack.
How should the specimens be looked after?
Handle them with dry hands, avoid dropping them on hard floors and return them to the display box after each lesson. Avoid scratch or acid tests on these reference pieces so their surfaces stay clear for identification.
Can you supply larger quantities or export orders?
Yes. ScienceLab supplies schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets. Send the quantity and delivery location through our contact page for a quotation.
What should an institutional enquiry include?
The product code SLE/GG/09, the number of kits, the delivery address or port, and any vendor documents your purchase department requires. This lets us prepare an accurate quotation first time.
