What Is the Volume Measuring Set Used For?

Lessons usually open with informal comparisons, such as which container holds more, before moving to standard units with the 100 ml measuring cylinder and the 100 ml beaker. Pupils pour water between the two, read the cylinder's scale at eye level and notice that the same quantity of liquid looks different in a tall, narrow vessel and a short, wide one. Everyday examples like a glass of milk or a bottle of juice help them estimate capacity before checking by measurement.

The 1 cm³ plastic cubes connect solid volume with liquid capacity: one cubic centimetre corresponds to one millilitre, so a counted group of cubes matches the same number of millilitres. Older pupils then fold the nets into boxes of different sizes, finishing with a one-litre box that makes the link between litres, millilitres and cubic centimetres visible. The sequence suits a maths lab rotation in which groups of four move between measuring stations.

What to Specify When Ordering

  • Number of sets — one Volume Measuring Set serves up to 4 children aged 8–12.
  • Spare cubes or nets — ask us if larger groups or repeat lessons need extra 1 cm³ cubes or box nets.
  • Extra measuring ware — schools wanting more pouring stations can add measuring cylinders from the related items below.

Product codeSLE/EZ/21
ManufacturerJain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM
Country of originIndia (made in Ambala, Haryana)

What Is the Insect Net Used For?

An insect net is the starting point for most entomology activities: sweeping through long grass to sample the insects living there, or catching a single butterfly or dragonfly in flight. After each sweep or swing, a quick turn of the wrist folds the deep bag over the hoop and traps the catch until it can be moved into a viewing box. The soft micromesh is gentle on delicate wings and legs, which matters when insects are to be released after study.

Class sweep-net surveys work well when every group uses the same net and the same number of sweeps, so results can be compared between habitats. Keep the net away from thorny bushes and water, check the bag for snags after each outing, and store it hung up and dry. Together with viewing boxes and pins, it forms the core of an insect collection kit for schools.

OEM Manufacturer

This economy insect net is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind the ScienceLab name and the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the product. Nets are assembled at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and sold factory-direct to schools, colleges, nature clubs, dealers and importers. Class quantities and replacement nets are arranged by the manufacturer itself, so ask us. More is on the company profile page.

What are the dimensions of the Insect Net, Economy?
The Insect Net, Economy has a 36 in handle with a 5/8 in diameter, a 10-1/2 in hoop and a soft micromesh bag 16 in deep. The deep bag lets the net be folded over the hoop to trap insects after a swing.

Is the Insect Net, Economy suitable for younger students?
Yes. The Insect Net, Economy is lightweight and easy to carry, which suits school groups on nature walks. Show students how to swing it clear of others and how to transfer insects gently into a viewing box.

Can the Insect Net, Economy be used for sweep netting?
Yes. The Insect Net, Economy can be swept through grass and low plants to sample the insects living there. Use a set number of sweeps in each habitat so a class can compare results fairly.

Empty Number Card (Set of 5)

Product Code : SLE/LP/21

Empty Number Card (Set of 5) (Product Code: SLE/LP/21) is a set of blank number cards used to practise recognising, writing and placing numerals in early primary maths. Teachers or pupils write any numeral on the cards with the chalks supplied, then hang them from their hooks to form a number sequence that can be wiped and changed. The set is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, within its range of mathematics lab equipment.

Key Details

Contents5 blank number cards
WritingChalks included for writing numerals on the cards
DisplayHooks for hanging the cards
Concepts coveredNumeral recognition; writing numbers; number location; connecting symbol to quantity
Product codeSLE/LP/21
Supplied byJain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India

What Is the Empty Number Card Set Used For?

Because the cards start blank, the teacher decides which numbers each lesson needs: 1 to 5 for a first counting group, a run of two-digit numbers for older children, or a sequence with one card left empty for pupils to complete. Writing a numeral in chalk and then saying it aloud reinforces both recognition and correct number formation.

Hung on their hooks, the cards become a movable number line for number-location work: pupils decide where a given number belongs, re-order cards that are out of place, or find the missing value between two neighbours. Placing a small group of classroom objects beside each card connects the written symbol to the quantity it stands for, an important step before formal addition.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind the ScienceLab name, supplies the Empty Number Card set from Ambala, Haryana, India to primary schools, teacher-resource centres, stockists and importers in India and international markets. The cards sit in the same Primary maths range as the number cards, digit cards and number mats listed below, so an early-number corner can be furnished through a single supplier. For extra chalk or a repeat supply, simply ask us. Company background is on the ScienceLab profile.

Currency

Product Code : SLE/LP/22

Currency (Product Code: SLE/LP/22) is a classroom set of practice rupee notes and coins used to teach counting money, making change and converting rupees to paise in primary maths. One set serves up to 6 children aged 8–12 years and holds notes in seven denominations plus 5-, 2- and 1-rupee coins, enough for realistic shop role-play. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Key Details

Concepts coveredIdentifying notes and coins; converting rupees to paise; adding and subtracting bills; making the same amount with different combinations
Product codeSLE/LP/22
Supplied byJain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India

What Is the Currency Set Used For?

The Currency set turns money lessons into a working classroom shop. Children first learn to recognise each note and coin, then take turns as shopkeeper and customer, adding up bills, paying and working out change by subtraction. Converting rupees to paise follows naturally once pupils learn that one rupee is made up of 100 paise.

A popular challenge is to make the same amount in several ways, for example paying 20 rupees with a single note, with two 10-rupee notes, or with a mix of notes and coins. With 100 notes each of the 10 and 1 rupee values, a group of six has plenty of small change to trade without running out. Like the other mathematics lab kits in the range, the set is quickest to use when stored sorted by denomination.

What to Specify When Ordering

  • Number of sets — one Currency set suits up to 6 children aged 8–12.
  • Current contents — confirm the denomination list in your quotation so it matches the notes and coins your syllabus covers.
  • Other maths aids — list any related items below so one quotation covers the whole order.

Supplier

Product codeSLE/EZ/22
Supplied byJain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India

What Is the Giant Ant Farm Used For?

Ants are social insects, and an ant farm lets a class see what normally happens underground: workers digging and extending tunnels, carrying sand grains to the surface, moving food and caring for the colony. Because the tunnels change from day to day, students can sketch or photograph the farm at the same time each day and build a record of how the network grows, a long-running project in social insect behaviour.

Use the tunnel starter tool to make a few shallow openings that encourage the ants to begin digging, and keep the sand lightly moist with the water feeder. Keep the farm out of direct sunlight and away from heaters, feed sparingly, and never mix ants from different colonies, as they will fight. It adds a living element to school biology lab equipment and nature study.

What to Specify When Ordering

  • The number of ant farms, for example one per class or one per science club.
  • Whether you need help with a source of ants, since live ants are not listed as included.
  • Any viewing boxes or magnifiers you want on the same order.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, supplies the giant ant farm from Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges, activity centres and educational dealers can order it alongside other insect-study equipment, with delivery across India and to international markets. Company details are on the company profile page.

Other insect-study items that complement the ant farm:

  • Antworks Deluxe Kit — another ant habitat option from the same zoology range.
  • Chamber with Lid — for short choice experiments with ants or other small insects.
  • Bug Box, Gridded — for measuring individual ants and other minibeasts.
  • Lens — a 3x and 6x magnifier for watching ants at work up close.

Explore the Zoology category for more.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes with the Giant Ant Farm?
The Giant Ant Farm comes with clean tunnelling sand, a 24-inch clear connecting tube, a tunnel starter tool and a water feeder. The habitat itself measures 15 x 10 in, large enough for a class to watch at the same time.

Are live ants included with the Giant Ant Farm?
The listing for the Giant Ant Farm does not include live ants. Please ask through our contact page before ordering; many schools collect a small number of local ants from one colony under a teacher's supervision.

What is the tunnel starter tool on the Giant Ant Farm for?
The tunnel starter tool supplied with the Giant Ant Farm is used to make a few shallow openings in the sand. These give newly added ants a place to begin digging, so tunnels appear sooner.

How do I keep ants healthy in the Giant Ant Farm?
Keep the Giant Ant Farm out of direct sunlight and away from heat, keep the sand lightly moist using the water feeder, and give only small amounts of food. Remove uneaten food so mould does not develop.

What can students learn from the Giant Ant Farm?
The Giant Ant Farm lets students observe social insect behaviour, including tunnelling, division of work and food handling. Daily sketches or photos turn it into a long-running project on animal behaviour and data recording.

Net, Basic Fish Dip

Product Code : SLE/EZ/23

Net, Basic Fish Dip (Product Code: SLE/EZ/23) is a long-handled D-frame dip net used to sample fish and aquatic invertebrates from ponds, streams and tanks in biology and environmental science fieldwork. It has a 4 ft aluminium handle, a D-shaped monorail bow 16 in wide by 18 in long, and a 24 in deep bag of 1/4 in knotless nylon mesh encased in the bow for protection. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Product codeSLE/EZ/23
ManufacturerJain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM
Country of originIndia (made in Ambala, Haryana)

What Is the Fish Dip Net Used For?

The flat edge of a D-shaped frame sits flush against a stream bed, pond floor or tank bottom, so very little escapes underneath. Students use it for kick sampling, where the net is held on the bed while the gravel just upstream is disturbed so that dislodged animals drift in, and for sweeping through weed beds and along banks to catch small fish, nymphs and snails. The 4 ft handle lets them reach out from the bank while keeping their feet on firm ground.

Because the net is encased in the monorail bow, it is not dragged directly over stones and sand, which reduces wear on the mesh. Empty the catch by turning the bag inside out into a tray of water, and rinse the net before moving to a new site. Hang it to dry after use. It is a dependable part of an ecology science kit for school and college stream studies.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of this basic fish dip net. It is made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and reaches schools, colleges, fisheries teaching departments, dealers and importers directly from the manufacturer rather than through a trader. Replacement bags, repeat orders and class sets are quoted by the factory — ask us. See the company profile for more.

Why does the Net, Basic Fish Dip have a D-shaped bow?
The flat side of the D-shaped bow on the Net, Basic Fish Dip rests flush on a stream bed or tank floor, leaving little gap for animals to escape beneath. That makes it well suited to kick sampling and bottom sweeps.

How is the net protected from wear on the Net, Basic Fish Dip?
On the Net, Basic Fish Dip the nylon net is encased in a monorail bow, which acts as a natural guard. The bow takes the contact with rocks, sand and tank walls instead of the mesh, reducing abrasion.

Gee Minnow Trap

Product Code : SLE/EZ/24

Gee Minnow Trap (Product Code: SLE/EZ/24) is a no-frills wire-mesh trap used to catch small fish passively in ponds and streams for biology and fisheries fieldwork. Students set it in the water and return later, instead of netting actively; it is made of galvanised 1/4 in square wire mesh, measures 16 in long by 9 in wide, and has a 7/8 in entrance hole. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

OperationSet it up and return at your convenience
Product codeSLE/EZ/24
Supplied byJain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India

What Is the Minnow Trap Used For?

A minnow trap samples small fish without anyone standing in the water: fish swim in through the entrance hole, often drawn by a little bait, and find it hard to swim back out. That makes it useful where banks are steep or water is too deep for a seine, and for comparing catches between sites or times of day. Traps set side by side in different habitats give a simple, repeatable survey method for a school or college ecology project.

Place the trap in shallow water near cover such as weeds or roots, and tie it to the bank with cord so it can be recovered. Check it within a few hours rather than leaving fish inside for long, then count, measure and release them where they were caught. The galvanised mesh copes with repeated wetting; rinse and dry it after use. Always check local rules on fish sampling and supervise students near water.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, supplies the Gee Minnow Trap from Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges, fisheries and environmental study programmes and dealers can source it together with nets, measuring boards and aerators on one quotation, for delivery across India and to international markets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Gee Minnow Trap made of?
The Gee Minnow Trap is made of galvanised 1/4 in square wire mesh. The galvanised coating helps the trap cope with repeated use in water, and the small mesh holds minnows and other small fish once they are inside.

What size is the Gee Minnow Trap?
The Gee Minnow Trap is 16 in long and 9 in wide, with a 7/8 in entrance hole. It is compact enough to carry several traps in one field bag and set them at different points around a pond.

How does the Gee Minnow Trap work?
Small fish swim into the Gee Minnow Trap through its entrance hole and find it difficult to swim back out. Students simply set the trap in the water, leave it for a short time, and return to count the catch.

How long should the Gee Minnow Trap be left in the water?
For teaching surveys, check the Gee Minnow Trap within a few hours so fish are not held for long. Record, measure and release the catch at the same spot, and remove the trap when the session ends.

Does the Gee Minnow Trap come with bait or cord?
The listing for the Gee Minnow Trap describes the wire-mesh trap only and does not mention bait or cord. Most groups use a length of cord to anchor it to the bank; ask us if you need accessories.

Mini Fish Measuring Board

Product Code : SLE/EZ/25

Mini Fish Measuring Board (Product Code: SLE/EZ/25) is a lightweight PVC board used to measure the length of small fish quickly and consistently during fisheries, ecology and zoology fieldwork. A raised lip positions the fish, a built-in handle makes it easy to carry, and three scales — in eighths of an inch, tenths of an inch and centimetres — are silk-screened in high-resolution black. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is the Fish Measuring Board Used For?

Fish length is one of the most useful measurements in a freshwater survey: it shows the size range of a population, helps separate young fish from adults, and can be plotted as a length-frequency chart back in class. On a measuring board, the fish lies on its side with its snout pushed gently against the raised lip, and the length is read where the tail ends, so every student measures in the same way.

Having inch and centimetre scales on one board lets a group record in the unit their worksheet asks for, or practise converting between them. Wet the board before each fish so the protective slime layer is not rubbed off, measure quickly, and return the fish to water straight away. Rinse the board in clean water afterwards and let it dry. It is a handy addition to zoology lab equipment used on fisheries and pond-study courses.

Supplier

This mini fish measuring board is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, of Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges, fisheries training centres and dealers can order it in field-kit quantities, with nets, traps and aerators on the same quotation, for customers in India and international markets. Company background is on the company profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which scales are printed on the Mini Fish Measuring Board?
The Mini Fish Measuring Board carries three scales: inches in eighths, inches in tenths and centimetres. They are silk-screened in high-resolution black, so students can read and record lengths in whichever unit their survey uses.

What size is the Mini Fish Measuring Board?
The Mini Fish Measuring Board is listed as 15 in long and 16 x 5 x 1.5 in. The listing does not make clear which figure is the scale length, so ask through our contact page if the exact measuring range matters.

What is the raised lip on the Mini Fish Measuring Board for?
