Seismograph Model For Science Lab
The Seismograph Model For Science Lab (Product Code: SLE/ES/17) is a small table-top unit that shows students how earthquakes are measured and how their intensity is worked out. Students simulate their own earthquakes and the seismograph records the intensity of each tremor, so the class can compare results and try to top the Richter scale. The model brings an abstract topic within reach for geography, earth science and physics classes, and is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), a school science lab equipment manufacturer in Ambala.
Key Details
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Table-top seismograph model |
| Purpose | Shows how earthquakes are measured and their intensity calculated |
| Operation | Students simulate earthquakes; the seismograph records their intensity |
| Scale referenced | Richter scale |
| Size | Small, table-top |
| Suitable for | Classroom demonstrations and group activities |
Typical Use
A lesson usually begins with a question: how can anyone put a number on something as chaotic as an earthquake? The teacher then demonstrates a gentle simulated tremor and shows the trace the seismograph records, before letting groups create stronger and weaker "earthquakes" of their own. Comparing the recorded traces makes the connection between the size of the disturbance and the size of the recording visible, which leads naturally to how seismologists use such records to assign a magnitude. The friendly challenge of trying to top the Richter scale keeps students engaged.
Beyond geography and disaster-management lessons, the unit works as a demonstration model in the physics lab for vibrations and waves. Place it on a stable, level surface away from the edge of the bench, reset the recording between trials so each trace can be compared, and keep simulated shaking within what the model is designed for.
Manufacturer
The seismograph model is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the Ambala, Haryana manufacturer behind the ScienceLab brand, which makes demonstration models and apparatus for school and college science departments. Our company profile has more about the organisation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the model demonstrate?
How earthquakes are measured and how their intensity is calculated, using earthquakes that students simulate themselves.
Can it detect real earthquakes?
It is a teaching model designed to record simulated tremors in the classroom, not a scientific monitoring instrument.
How large is the unit?
It is a small table-top unit. Exact dimensions are not in our current product notes; contact us if you need them for storage planning.
Does it need power or special recording paper?
Power and consumable requirements are not listed here. Please ask us before ordering so we can confirm what the recording mechanism uses.
Is a calibration certificate provided?
As a demonstration model it is not intended for calibrated measurement. If your institution requires any test documentation, discuss it with us at the enquiry stage.
What warranty applies?
Warranty terms are confirmed with each quotation.
Can you supply several schools or export?
Yes. We supply institutions and distributors across India and international markets; quote product code SLE/ES/17 and the quantity needed.
