The Fossil Collection (Product Code: SLE/ES/06) is a selection of 15 fossils chosen to illustrate the major life forms that have existed throughout geologic history. A descriptive key sheet and a geologic time chart come with the specimens, so students can first learn what each fossil is and then place it in the correct era. It suits introductory geology, geography and biology classes where learners meet fossils for the first time, and it is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a school laboratory equipment supplier in India.

Specifications

Typical Use

A common approach is a two-stage practical. In the first stage, students observe each fossil closely, note its shape, symmetry and texture, and use the descriptive key sheet to name it. In the second, they move to the geologic time chart and decide in which era that organism lived, building a simple timeline across the bench. Asking students to explain why some groups appear only in older rocks while others continue to the present opens a discussion of extinction and change over time.

The collection is a natural fit among biology teaching aids in India for evolution and classification lessons, as well as in geography units on sedimentary rocks. Handle specimens over a tray or soft mat, keep them dry, and clean them only with a soft brush; avoid water on fragile pieces and never use acids or detergents.

The Vertebrate Fossil Dig (Product Code: SLE/ES/07) gives students in grades 6-12 the experience of a realistic excavation. Genuine vertebrate fossils are encased in a sediment similar to that of their natural location, and learners uncover them with a digging tool and brush, just as a field team would, before examining the results under a magnifying glass. A guide accompanies the kit to structure the activity. It is one of the high school science kits supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, to schools and colleges.

Specifications

Typical Use

Unlike picking fossils out of loose gravel, this dig asks for patience: students remove the sediment a little at a time with the digging tool, sweep the loosened grains away with the brush, and stop to examine what is emerging under the magnifying glass before going deeper. Encourage them to photograph or sketch the fossil at each stage and to note its orientation in the block, which introduces the idea that position in the rock is itself evidence. Senior students can go further and discuss what kind of animal the bone or tooth came from and how it became buried.

Because the work is slow and careful, the kit suits a series of short sessions or a club project, and it can form the basis of a science fair project kit display showing each stage of the excavation. Work over a tray to collect debris, keep the brush strokes light near exposed fossil surfaces, and consider safety glasses while chipping at the sediment.

The Variation And Evolution Fossil Kit (Product Code: SLE/ES/08) introduces students to intraspecific and interspecific variation using real measurement data. Fifty fossil brachiopods are imbedded in reproduction plastic rocks, and learners use calipers and rulers to record their internal and external dimensions, then compare the numbers within and between species. With reproduction rock formations and a Teacher's Guide included, it works as a biology experiment kit for students studying evolution, and is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

Students divide the brachiopods between groups, measure agreed dimensions such as shell length and width with the calipers, and enter the results in a shared class table. Plotting the values as a histogram shows that even individuals of one species are not identical (intraspecific variation), while comparing the spread of two species shows how distinct forms differ (interspecific variation). The discussion then turns naturally to natural selection: which variations might have mattered to a brachiopod living on the sea floor, and how would they be preserved in the fossil record?

The kit sits comfortably among school biology lab equipment in India for evolution and statistics-in-science units, and it also reinforces good measuring technique. Remind students to zero the calipers before each reading, measure every specimen twice, and handle the plastic rocks without twisting so the fossils stay firmly seated.

Supplier

This kit is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the Ambala, Haryana company that trades as ScienceLab and serves biology, geography and earth science departments with teaching resources. The company profile gives an overview of the business.

The Investigating Geological Time And Fossils Chart (Product Code: SLE/ES/09) is a revised, multi-colour wall chart that sets out the entire geologic time scale using current geologic dating information. Representative fossils from the corresponding geologic periods are mounted directly on the chart, so students see real specimens beside the period in which those organisms lived. Measuring 18 in x 24 in and supplied with a wood frame, it gives a geography, geology or biology room a permanent reference display. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, one of the school science lab equipment suppliers in India.

Specifications

Typical Use

Deep time is hard to picture, and a chart that pairs each period with an actual fossil makes the sequence concrete. Teachers use it as the anchor for a lesson on the eras and periods, pointing out how the mounted specimens change from simple marine forms to more complex life as the scale moves forward. Students can then be given unlabelled fossils or pictures and asked to place them on the chart, justifying each choice from the features they see.

Hung at eye level, the chart becomes a reference that students return to throughout a unit on rocks, fossils and evolution, and it works alongside a biology chart set in school labs across India. Keep it out of direct sunlight to protect the colours, dust the frame with a dry cloth, and avoid touching the mounted fossils.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which operates under the ScienceLab name in Ambala, Haryana, supplies mounted specimen charts such as this to schools and colleges together with its own laboratory equipment. Visit the company profile to learn more.

Investigating The Chemical Composition Of Minerals (Product Code: SLE/ES/10) is a mounted-specimen project that explains how the predominant elements of the Earth's crust combine into the "recipes" for minerals. Real minerals from seven chemical families (silicate, sulfate, sulfide, oxide, halide, carbonate and native element) are mounted on an 18 in x 24 in chart, wood framed on a sturdy backing, and the product listing also includes 10 additional rocks and charts. It links chemistry and earth science teaching and is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a laboratory equipment supplier in India.

Specifications

Typical Use

The display lets a teacher move from the list of elements that dominate the crust to the minerals built from them. Students look at each mounted family, note which element or group (for example sulfate, carbonate or oxide) defines it, and compare the appearance of minerals that share an anion. Native elements provide a useful contrast because they occur uncombined. A worksheet asking students to write the family, likely elements present and one visible property for each mineral turns the chart into an active exercise.

It pairs well with a periodic table chart in Indian school labs, helping chemistry students see that the symbols and formulas they learn describe real materials underfoot. Hang the frame away from damp walls and direct sunlight, and discourage handling of the mounted specimens; dust gently with a soft brush when needed.

Ores Of Common Metals (Product Code: SLE/ES/11) is a collection of 15 specimens of the more important metal ores. An ore is a rock or mineral mass that contains enough of an element or compound to make it economically feasible to mine, and this set lets students see and handle the actual materials from which everyday metals are obtained. It serves geography rooms as well as school chemistry lab equipment in India for lessons on metals and their extraction, and is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

The collection gives weight to a topic that is often taught only from diagrams. Students examine each specimen for colour, lustre, density in the hand and streak, and discuss why one rock is worth mining while another containing the same metal is not; the answer depends on concentration, ease of extraction and demand, which brings economics and environment into the science lesson. Teachers can then ask learners to link each ore to the metal it yields and to a product they use every day.

The set is a useful companion to a science lab kit for class 10 chapters on metals and non-metals, and it supports senior lessons on extraction and refining. As a general precaution with metal ores, wash hands after handling, keep specimens away from food, and store them in a labelled compartment box so each one stays identified.

Supplier

This collection is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana. Its vendor registration details are GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A (DGFT), under which export orders are shipped. Read more on the company profile.

The Mineral ID Starter Set (Product Code: SLE/ES/12) contains 30 different minerals, with 5 of each sample, for identification using the taxonomic key contained in the lab manual. Students test each specimen for hardness, specific gravity, colour, streak and cleavage, and a Mineral Testing Kit is included with the tools needed for those tests. It is a complete, class-ready science kit with manual support for schools in India and abroad, supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

Because every mineral is supplied five times over, up to five groups can work through the same specimens in parallel and then compare their conclusions. A typical practical runs through the key step by step: rub the specimen on the streak plate, try to scratch the glass plate, test against the nail and penny to bracket the hardness, check for magnetism, look at cleavage surfaces through the hand lens magnifier, and, where the key calls for it, use the acid bottle to check for fizzing. Each result narrows the choices in the taxonomic key until the mineral is named.

The set builds scientific habits as much as mineral knowledge: recording observations before drawing conclusions, repeating a test when results disagree, and using a dichotomous key. Wipe streak and glass plates clean between tests, keep the acid bottle under teacher control, and return minerals to their own compartments so the five sets stay complete.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited supplies this set under its ScienceLab trading name from Ambala, Haryana, where the company builds and sources equipment for school and college science departments. Company information is on the company profile.

Hardness, specific gravity, colour, streak and cleavage.

What does the Mineral Testing Kit contain?
A streak plate, glass plate, hand lens, magnet, acid bottle, nail, penny and hardness scale.

Is acid supplied in the acid bottle?
The kit lists an acid bottle; whether it is shipped filled depends on transport rules for your destination. Contact us to confirm, as many schools fill it locally with dilute acid.

Why does the kit include a penny and a nail?
They serve as everyday hardness references: if a mineral scratches or is scratched by them, students can narrow its hardness before checking the hardness scale.

How is specific gravity measured?
The lab manual guides the method. A balance and water container from your laboratory are normally needed; ask us if you would like suitable equipment added to your quotation.

Can you quote for multiple sets or export?
Yes. Send product code SLE/ES/12 and quantity; we supply India and international markets.

The Minerals In Our Food Collection (Product Code: SLE/ES/13) connects geology with the kitchen table. Its six numbered specimens, each approximately 1 1/2 in x 1 1/2 in, represent some of the many minerals, from calcium to zinc, that end up in common foods and vitamins or are used in food processing and preserving. The collection helps students understand how we depend on minerals for daily nutrition, and makes a compact addition to a health education kit in schools across India. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

Students are often surprised that the same elements found in rocks appear on food packets and vitamin labels. A good lesson starts by passing the numbered specimens around, then asking pairs to collect nutrition labels from home and find the minerals listed there. Each group matches a label entry to a specimen and researches one role that mineral plays, whether in the body or in processing and preserving food. The numbering makes it easy to run a quiz or a matching worksheet without writing on the specimens.

The collection suits earth science, biology and home science classes, and it can serve as a hands-on science kit in primary school nutrition topics as well as in higher classes. Remind students that these are rock and mineral specimens for observation only; they must never be tasted, and hands should be washed after handling.
