The Volcano Model (Product Code: SLE/GG/03) is a realistic, hand-painted resin model of a volcano cut through by a vertical section, so students can follow the path magma takes on its upward course through the volcano. It is securely mounted on a sturdy base for display and for handling in class. The model is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for geography and earth science departments in schools.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Sectional volcano model |
| Material | Resin, hand painted |
| Section | Vertical section showing the path magma takes on its upward course through the volcano |
| Mounting | Securely mounted on a sturdy base |
| Suitable for | Teaching volcano structure and how eruptions happen |
Using the vertical section, teachers trace the route magma follows on its way up and link it to the terms students meet in textbooks, such as magma chamber, vent, crater and lava flow. Seeing the inside of the cone makes it much easier to explain why pressure builds before an eruption and where the erupted material comes from.
The model pairs well with rock samples: igneous rocks such as basalt or pumice show what magma becomes once it cools. Its resin body and sturdy base make it suitable for passing around a small group or standing on a display shelf, and schools building up geography models often place it next to an Earth-interior globe so students can connect the molten layers below the crust with activity at the surface.

Resin, finished by hand painting for a realistic appearance.
Does it show the inside of the volcano?
Yes. A vertical section shows the path magma takes as it moves up through the volcano.

It is described as a painted sectional display model, not an eruption kit, so we suggest keeping liquids away from it. Contact us if you also need an eruption activity.
