Colour helps pupils separate the parts of a diagram: green for plant tissue and blue for water in a transport diagram, red and blue for arteries and veins, different colours for each side of a triangle or each bar of a chart. Drawing a cell, a flower or the water cycle in several colours turns a quick board sketch into a useful biology teaching aid in India's classrooms, especially where printed charts are not available for every topic. Geography teachers use brown, green and blue for landforms, vegetation and rivers on outline maps.
Keep a colour key in one corner of the board so the meaning of each colour stays consistent through the lesson. Store the box closed and dry, and hand out a few sticks per group rather than the whole box to reduce breakage. For everyday writing, pair this box with white chalk.
Coloured chalk is one of the classroom consumables supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the Ambala, Haryana company behind the ScienceLab brand, together with the boards and teaching aids it produces for schools in India and international markets.
