Mini Science Kit – Dissolving and Changes
Mini Science Kit – Dissolving and Changes (Product Code: SLE/CH/157) is a topic kit about what happens when materials are mixed, dissolved, heated or separated again. Pupils investigate what makes a solid dissolve more quickly, how temperature affects dissolving, which changes occur on mixing, how evaporation works and how dirty water can be cleaned. Made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, it serves as an introductory solubility experiment kit for school science lessons on reversible and irreversible changes.
Key Details
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Mini science kit (topic kit) |
| Topic | Dissolving, mixing and changing materials |
| Processes studied | Dissolving rate, effect of temperature, mixing, evaporation, cleaning water |
| Activities | Seven activities, listed below |
| Suitable for | Group investigations on changes of materials |
Activities performed with this kit:
- What makes a solid dissolve more quickly?
- What changes occur when materials are mixed?
- Changing materials
- Cleaning water
- Evaporation
- Temperature and the effects on dissolving
- Mixing materials
Typical Use
A common starting point is the dissolving-speed challenge: groups predict whether stirring, crushing the solid or warming the water will make it disappear faster, then change one factor at a time and time the result. The temperature activity builds on this by comparing the same solid in cooler and warmer water. Pupils then mix different materials, sort the changes they see into those that can be reversed and those that cannot, and leave a solution to evaporate so they can recover the dissolved solid.
The cleaning-water activity shows how settling and filtering remove visible particles – a simple taste of what a full water purification science kit explores in more depth. Remind pupils that filtered classroom water is still not safe to drink. Use warm tap water rather than boiling water for the temperature tests, and label every container so results are not mixed up between groups.
Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which does business as ScienceLab from its base in Ambala, Haryana, manufactures this kit as part of its range of topic kits for schools. You can learn about the company on our company profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which experiments are covered?
Seven: dissolving speed, changes on mixing, changing materials, cleaning water, evaporation, temperature and dissolving, and mixing materials.
Are the solids for dissolving supplied?
The kit’s contents are not itemised on this page. Many schools use everyday solids such as salt and sugar for these tests; ask us via the contact page to confirm what is packed.
Is the cleaned water safe to drink?
No. The activity removes visible dirt only and does not make water safe for drinking; treat it as a model of the process.
Do we need a heat source?
Warm tap water is usually enough to show the effect of temperature. If your lesson plan calls for heating, follow your school’s laboratory safety procedures.
How should containers be cleaned after use?
Rinse them in clean water, let them dry fully and store them in the kit so residues do not affect the next class’s results.
Can several kits be ordered for a school chain or tender?
Yes. We quote for multiple schools and deliver across India and international markets; include quantities per site in your request.

Mini Science Kit – Earth, Sun and Moon
Mini Science Kit – Earth, Sun and Moon (Product Code: SLE/CH/158) is an astronomy topic kit that helps children understand the movements behind everyday events in the sky. Its activities tackle the relative sizes of bodies in space, whether the Sun really moves, day and night, sunrise and sunset, the seasons and the phases of the Moon. Manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, it is a compact earth science kit for schools that want pupils to model the Earth–Sun–Moon system rather than just read about it.
Key Details
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Mini science kit (topic kit) |
| Topic | Earth, Sun and Moon |
| Phenomena explained | Relative sizes, apparent movement of the Sun, day and night, sunrise and sunset, seasons, phases of the Moon |
| Activities | Six activities, listed below |
| Suitable for | Classroom modelling and observation work on space science |
Activities performed with this kit:
- What are the relative sizes of…?
- Does the Sun move?
- The Seasons
- Day and Night
- Sunrise and Sunset
- Phases of the Moon
Typical Use
Space topics are hard to observe directly in a single lesson, so this kit relies on modelling. With the room darkened and a lamp standing in for the Sun, pupils turn a model Earth to see how one half is always lit, which explains day and night and why sunrise comes earlier to places further east. Asking “Does the Sun move?” opens a discussion of apparent motion: the Sun seems to cross the sky because the Earth spins. Moving the model Earth around the lamp with its axis tilted shows why the seasons change, and circling a small ball around a pupil’s head in lamplight recreates the phases of the Moon.
Pair the classroom models with real observations – the Moon’s shape over several evenings, or the Sun’s position at the same time each morning. Older pupils can extend the Moon diary into a science fair project. Never let pupils look directly at the Sun during outdoor observations.
Manufacturer
This astronomy kit is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, the company behind the ScienceLab brand of school science equipment. It is a registered MSME enterprise (Udyam UDYAM-HR-01-0003714) and ships export orders under Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A issued by the DGFT. Visit our company profile for more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the kit explain why we have seasons?
Yes. The Seasons is one of the six activities; modelling the tilted Earth moving around the Sun shows why daylight and warmth change through the year.
Do we need a darkened room?
It helps. The day-and-night and Moon-phase models are much clearer when the only strong light comes from the lamp or torch acting as the Sun.
What is actually in the box?
The item-by-item contents are not published here. Please request the packing list through our contact page so you know whether to add a globe or light source.
How does the kit deal with the idea that the Sun moves?
The “Does the Sun move?” activity helps pupils separate what they see from what happens: the Sun appears to rise and set because the Earth rotates.
Is it a good fit for a tender or bulk purchase?
Yes. Send the number of kits per school and delivery addresses and we will prepare one consolidated quotation.
Do you export this kit?
We supply India and international markets; tell us the destination country when you enquire so shipping can be arranged.

Mini Science Kit – Electricity
Mini Science Kit – Electricity (Product Code: SLE/CH/159) introduces simple circuits through a sequence of practical questions: what makes a circuit complete, what a switch does, which materials conduct, how to change the brightness of a bulb and how to draw what has been built as a circuit diagram. Built by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, it is an electricity experiment kit for school classrooms that want every group connecting circuits with their own hands.
Key Details
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Mini science kit (topic kit) |
| Topic | Electricity and simple circuits |
| Skills developed | Building and changing circuits, testing conductors, using switches, controlling bulb brightness, drawing circuit diagrams |
| Activities | Seven activities, listed below |
| Suitable for | Small-group circuit work in school science |
Activities performed with this kit:
- Understanding a complete circuit
- Changing circuits
- Which materials conduct electricity the best?
- What is a switch?
- How do I change the brightness of a bulb?
- Can you draw a circuit diagram?
- How do I change the wires to affect the brightness of the bulb?
Typical Use
Pupils first build a loop that lights a bulb and then break it at different points to see that current needs a complete path. From there they change the circuit – adding or removing components – and predict what will happen to the bulb before testing. The conductor activity turns into a quick sorting exercise: groups place everyday objects in a gap in the circuit and record which ones let the bulb light. Adding a switch shows how a circuit is opened and closed deliberately, just like the switches at home.
The two brightness activities lead pupils to see that the number of cells, the number of bulbs and the wires themselves all affect how bright a bulb glows. Finishing with circuit diagrams helps pupils record their designs in standard symbols. Use only low-voltage cells for these activities – never mains electricity – and disconnect circuits when they are not being observed so cells do not run down.
Manufacturer
ScienceLab is the name under which Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, an Ambala, Haryana company, makes and ships physics, chemistry and biology teaching equipment; this electricity kit is part of that range. Details are on our company profile.

Components and next-step kits for circuit lessons:
- Circuits Kit Bulb Holder — extra holders for series and parallel bulb comparisons
- Circuits Kit Push Switch — a second switch type for the what-is-a-switch activity
- Simple Circuit Module Buzzer — lets pupils hear, not just see, whether a circuit is complete
- Electricity Kit Microscience — a follow-on kit for older students moving to measured circuit work
Further kits are in Chemistry Lab Equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are cells and bulbs included?
The component list is not shown on this page. Ask us through the contact page for the packing list, including whether cells and spare bulbs are supplied.
Is the kit safe for young pupils?
Circuit work of this kind is carried out with low-voltage cells, which is the safe way to teach it. Pupils must never connect anything to a mains socket.
What does changing the wires teach?
Pupils find that the wires in a circuit affect how bright the bulb is – an early introduction to the idea of resistance.
Why does a bulb sometimes fail to light?
Usually a loose connection, a flat cell or a blown bulb. Checking each connection in turn is itself a useful fault-finding exercise.
Does it cover circuit diagrams?
Yes. One activity asks pupils to draw the circuits they build, so they practise standard symbols.
How do I order kits for a whole school?
Send the number of kits and your delivery location; we supply schools in India and international markets and can combine this kit with other topic kits in one quotation.

Mini Science Kit – Friction and Force
Mini Science Kit – Friction and Force (Product Code: SLE/CH/160) gives pupils a practical route into forces they meet every day: friction between surfaces, the upward push of water and the drag of air. Activities cover reading forcemeters, testing which surfaces let objects slide, weighing objects in air and in water, spinners, shapes moving through water and the fall of a parachute. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as a force and motion experiment kit for school science lessons.
Key Details
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Mini science kit (topic kit) |
| Topic | Friction and force |
| Forces explored | Friction, weight, upthrust in water, water resistance, air resistance |
| Measurement skill | Reading forcemeters |
| Activities | Six activities, listed below |
Activities performed with this kit:
- How to read forcemeters?
- Which surfaces allow objects to slide?
- Weighing in air and water
- Spinners
- Shapes moving in water
- Fall of a parachute
Typical Use
Teachers usually open with forcemeter practice, because every later activity depends on reading a scale accurately. Pupils then drag the same object across different surfaces and compare the pull needed, discovering that rough surfaces create more friction than smooth ones. Weighing an object first in air and then while it hangs in water shows that the reading drops – the water pushes up on it. The shapes-in-water activity asks which shapes move through water most easily, a good lead-in to why boats and fish are streamlined.
Spinners and parachutes move the focus to air resistance. Groups drop them from the same height, time the fall and change one feature, such as canopy size, to see the effect. As a friction experiment kit for school science, it rewards careful fair testing: repeat each measurement, keep the same object and height, and record results in a table. Dry any items that have been in water before packing them away.
Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited makes this forces kit at Ambala in Haryana and sells it under its ScienceLab trading name to schools and colleges. Find out more in our company profile.
Related Laboratory Equipment
Measuring tools and apparatus for the same unit:
- Force Meter/Spring Balance — additional forcemeters so every group can take readings at once
- Friction Demonstration Device (Tribometer) — a dedicated set-up for comparing sliding friction
- Inclined Plane with Roller & Pan — extends the sliding tests to slopes and rolling
- Stopwatch, Digital — times the parachute and spinner drops
More kits appear in Chemistry Lab Equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the kit come with forcemeters?
The packing list is not published on this page, so please confirm the contents with us via the contact page. Forcemeters can also be ordered separately.
How should pupils read a forcemeter?
Hold it vertically, check that it reads zero before hanging anything on it, let the pointer settle and read the scale at eye level.
What does weighing in water demonstrate?
That water pushes upward on an object (upthrust), so the forcemeter shows a smaller reading than in air.
What links the spinner and parachute activities?
Both show air resistance slowing a falling object; changing their size or shape changes how long they take to land.
How do we keep the kit in good condition?
Do not stretch forcemeters beyond their scale, dry everything used in water, and store parachute canopies loosely so they do not tangle.
Can you quote for several schools or export orders?
Yes. We supply India and international markets; list the quantity for each delivery address in your enquiry.

Mini Science Kit – Gases Around Us
Mini Science Kit – Gases Around Us (Product Code: SLE/CH/161) helps pupils recognise that gases are real materials even though most of them cannot be seen. Activities move from the differences between solids and liquids to naming gases, defining solids, liquids and gases, tracking where water goes, and comparing the amount of air in different soils. Made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, it works as an entry-level chemistry experiment kit on the states of matter.
Key Details
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Mini science kit (topic kit) |
| Topic | Gases and the states of matter |
| Key ideas | Solids, liquids and gases; naming gases; air in soil; what happens to water |
| Activities | Six activities, listed below |
| Suitable for | Classroom and school-ground investigations on materials |
Activities performed with this kit:
- Differences between solids and liquids
- Naming gases
- Where does water go?
- Defining solids
- Comparing the amount of air in different soils
- Defining solids, liquids and gases
Typical Use
The kit builds a vocabulary step by step. Pupils first sort materials into solids and liquids and agree on a definition of a solid, then add gases to the picture – learning the names of common gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide and comparing how the three states hold their shape, flow and fill a space. The “Where does water go?” activity follows water that seems to disappear from a wet surface or an open dish, introducing the idea that it has turned into a gas in the air.
The soil activity is a favourite because the evidence is visible: when water is poured onto a dry soil sample, bubbles of air escape, and different soils release different amounts. Collect samples from several parts of the school grounds, keep the sample size and volume of water the same, and compare results between groups. Tip used soil outdoors rather than into laboratory sinks.
Manufacturer
Gases Around Us is one of the topic kits manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana; the company trades as ScienceLab. Our company profile has further background.

- Measuring Cylinder, Polypropylene — measures the same volume of water for each soil sample
- Syringe — shows that trapped air can be squashed while water cannot
- Mini Science Kit – Solids and Liquids — a companion kit on comparing and separating solids and liquids
See all kits in Chemistry Lab Equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What will pupils learn about gases?
That gases are a state of matter alongside solids and liquids, how to name common gases, and how to tell the three states apart by their properties.
How is the air in soil compared?
Water is added to equal amounts of different soils and pupils observe the air that escapes; soils with more air spaces release more.
Are soil samples provided?
Local soils from the school grounds work well and show real differences. For the exact kit contents, please ask via our contact page.
Where does the water go in that activity?
It evaporates – the liquid becomes water vapour, an invisible gas, which is why the kit places this activity in a unit about gases.
How do we clean up after the soil tests?
Empty soil outdoors, rinse containers over a bucket rather than a sink, and dry all items before storage.
Can this kit be added to a larger school order?
Yes. Combine it with other topic kits in one enquiry; we supply India and international markets.

Mini Science Kit – Light and Shadows
Mini Science Kit – Light and Shadows (Product Code: SLE/CH/162) turns the playground and the classroom into a light laboratory. Pupils find out how shadows are formed and how they can be changed, track shadows through the day, use them as evidence that the Earth spins on its axis, test which surfaces reflect light well, explore mirrors and sort materials by whether they let light through. Manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, it is an optics experiment kit for school lessons that combine indoor tests with outdoor observation.
Key Details
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Mini science kit (topic kit) |
| Topic | Light, shadows and reflection |
| Concepts covered | Shadow formation, daily shadow changes, Earth’s rotation, reflective surfaces, mirrors, transparent and opaque materials |
| Activities | Eight activities, listed below |
| Setting | Classroom tests plus outdoor Sun and shadow observations |
Activities performed with this kit:
- How are shadows formed?
- How do shadows change throughout the day?
- How do we know the Earth spins on its axis?
- Which surfaces reflect light the best?
- Does the Sun shine from the same direction at the same time each day?
- Do all materials let light through?
- What can you see with a mirror?
- How can a shadow change?
Typical Use
Indoors, pupils block a beam of light with different objects to see that a shadow forms wherever light cannot pass, then move the object or the light to make the shadow bigger, smaller or a different shape. They hold materials up to the light and group them as letting light through, letting some through or blocking it, and compare how well shiny and dull surfaces reflect. Mirror activities reveal how reflection lets us see round corners or behind us.
Outdoors, a shadow marked on the ground every hour shows its length and direction changing as the day goes on – evidence that the Earth is turning. Repeating the observation at the same time on different days answers whether the Sun shines from the same direction each day. Remind pupils never to look straight at the Sun or reflect sunlight into anyone’s eyes with a mirror.
Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited manufactures the Light and Shadows kit at Ambala, Haryana, and markets its educational range as ScienceLab. For institutional and tender paperwork, its vendor registration details are GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and LEI 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. See our company profile for more about the company.

- Mini Science Kit – Earth, Sun and Moon — builds on the Earth’s rotation with day, night and the seasons
View more in Chemistry Lab Equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can all the activities be done indoors?
Most can, using a lamp or torch. The activities on daily shadow changes, the Earth’s rotation and the Sun’s direction need outdoor observations on a sunny day.
How does a shadow show that the Earth spins?
As the Earth rotates, the Sun appears to move across the sky, so a shadow cast by a fixed object slowly changes direction and length through the day.
How are materials classified in the light-through activity?
Pupils sort them into transparent (light passes through), translucent (some light passes) and opaque (light is blocked, forming a shadow).
Are mirrors safe for children to handle?
Handle glass mirrors with care, hold them by the edges and store them flat. Never use a mirror to reflect sunlight towards someone’s face.

Mini Science Kit – Magnets and Springs
Mini Science Kit – Magnets and Springs (Product Code: SLE/CH/163) combines two classic force topics in one box. Pupils investigate magnets and magnetic materials, test whether magnets work through other materials, compare the strength of different magnets, reveal magnetic fields and finish by making a catapult that stores and releases energy. From Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, it is a practical magnetism experiment kit that lets children discover forces acting at a distance and forces from stretched materials.
Key Details
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Mini science kit (topic kit) |
| Topic | Magnets and springs |
| Magnetism activities | Magnets through materials, investigating magnets, magnetic materials, magnet strength, magnetic fields |
| Springs activity | Making a catapult |
| Activities | Six activities, listed below |
Activities performed with this kit:
- Do magnets work through other materials?
- Investigating magnets
- Investigating magnetic materials
- Investigating the strength of magnets
- Magnetic fields
- Making a catapult
Typical Use
Magnet lessons often begin with free exploration: pupils find that magnets attract and repel each other and that only some materials stick to them. They then sort a collection of objects into magnetic and non-magnetic, and discover that being metal is not enough – iron and steel are attracted, while many other metals are not. To compare strength, groups count how many paper clips each magnet can hold or place sheets of card between magnet and clip until the pull stops, which also answers whether magnets work through other materials.
Mapping the field around a magnet, for example with small plotting compasses, shows the invisible pattern of the force. The catapult activity switches to springs: the further a spring or elastic band is stretched, the more energy it stores and the further a light object travels. As a physics experiment kit for school, it works best with clear safety rules – launch only soft, light objects at targets on the floor, never towards people.
Manufacturer
Made in Ambala, Haryana, by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited – the company that trades as ScienceLab – this kit belongs to a series of topic kits for school science. Learn more on our company profile.
Related Laboratory Equipment
Magnets and accessories that extend the investigations:

- Steel Horseshoe Magnet — a different magnet shape for the strength comparison
- Plotting Compass, Single Glass Face — traces the magnetic field lines around a magnet
- Materials Collection for Magnetism Studies — a ready set of objects for sorting magnetic and non-magnetic materials
Other kits are listed in Chemistry Lab Equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which types of magnet are in the kit?
The magnet types and quantities are not listed on this page. Please ask via our contact page for the current contents.
How can pupils compare magnet strength fairly?
Use the same test for every magnet – for example, the number of paper clips held in a chain, or the number of card sheets the magnet can still attract through.
How is the magnetic field made visible?
Small plotting compasses placed around the magnet point along the field lines, and pupils can draw the pattern they reveal.
How should magnets be stored?
Keep them in pairs with opposite poles together, avoid dropping them, and store them away from phones, cards and electronic equipment.
Is the catapult activity safe?
Yes, with supervision: use light, soft projectiles, aim at floor targets and keep everyone behind the launch line.
What information do you need for a school quotation?

Mini Science Kit – Solids and Liquids
Mini Science Kit – Solids and Liquids (Product Code: SLE/CH/164) is built around three focused investigations: comparing solids and liquids, discovering how some solids can behave like liquids, and separating a mixture of solids. Together they help pupils move beyond “hard things and runny things” to properties they can test and describe. Manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, it is a portable science kit for students that fits easily into a states-of-matter or materials unit.
Key Details
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Mini science kit (topic kit) |
| Topic | Solids and liquids |
| Skills practised | Comparing properties, classifying materials, separating mixtures |
| Activities | Three activities, listed below |
| Suitable for | Small-group work on states of matter |
Activities performed with this kit:
- How some solids behave like liquids?
- Comparing solids and liquids
- Separating a mixture of solids
Typical Use
In the comparison activity pupils test how solids and liquids behave when they are poured, squeezed or moved into a different container: a solid keeps its own shape, while a liquid flows and takes the shape of whatever holds it. The next activity challenges that rule. Fine, grainy solids such as sand, salt or rice can be poured and settle into the shape of a container – yet a close look shows each grain is still a tiny solid with a fixed shape. This is a helpful moment to discuss why scientists classify materials by the behaviour of their particles, not just by how they look.
Separating a mixture of solids brings in practical problem-solving: groups decide which property – grain size, magnetism or whether one part dissolves – they can use to pull the mixture apart, and then test their plan. Used as a simple chemistry teaching kit for separation techniques, it encourages pupils to explain why they chose each method. Sweep up spilt grains rather than washing them into sinks.
Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the Haryana manufacturer known as ScienceLab, produces this kit at Ambala alongside its other school science equipment. Read about the company in our company profile.

- Methods of Separation of Substances chart — a wall reference while pupils plan their separation
- Mini Science Kit – Gases Around Us — adds gases to complete the three states of matter
Browse more in Chemistry Lab Equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does “solids that behave like liquids” mean?
Grainy solids can be poured and take the shape of a container, much like a liquid, but each grain keeps its own shape – so they remain solids.
Which separation methods can pupils try?
That depends on the mixture: sieving separates by grain size, a magnet removes iron-containing pieces, and dissolving followed by filtering separates a soluble solid from an insoluble one.
How many lessons does the kit support?
It has three activities; each can fill a lesson with discussion and recording, and they combine well with other topic kits on materials.
Can I see the packing list?
The contents are not itemised on this page. Please request them through the contact page before ordering.
What is the best way to clean up afterwards?
Collect dry grains back into their containers, wipe surfaces with a damp cloth and let wet items dry before packing the kit away.
