Tree Ring Dating Kit
Tree Ring Dating Kit (Product Code: SLE/EBT/12) is a classroom dendrochronology kit used to teach how the annual growth rings of trees record age and past growing conditions, using simulated tree cores instead of drilled wood. It contains 15 Type A and 15 Type B simulated cores, 30 student worksheets and an instruction manual, making it a ready-to-run environmental science kit for schools. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Tree Ring Dating Kit Used For?
In temperate climates a tree usually adds one growth ring each year, and the width of that ring reflects how favourable the season was: wide rings suggest good rainfall and growth, narrow rings point to drought or stress. Working from the simulated cores, students count rings, note bands of wide and narrow growth, and compare cores to find matching sequences, the technique scientists call cross-dating. The worksheets lead them from simple counting to interpreting what a pattern says about past climate, and the instruction manual explains how the Type A and Type B cores are used.
The lesson links naturally to plant growth, climate change and the use of evidence in science, and runs in an ordinary classroom without specialist apparatus. A ruler and a hand lens help students measure and inspect narrow rings. Collect the cores at the end of each lesson and keep them together in the kit so the full set is ready for the next group.
OEM Manufacturer
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM that makes the Tree Ring Dating Kit at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Because the kit is assembled by the manufacturer rather than sourced from a trader, schools, education departments, dealers and importers can buy it factory-direct and ask the same team about additional components or repeat orders. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Tree Ring Dating Kit?
The Tree Ring Dating Kit contains 15 Type A simulated tree cores, 15 Type B simulated tree cores, 30 student worksheets and an instruction manual, so a class can work through the dendrochronology activity in small groups.
Why does the Tree Ring Dating Kit use simulated cores rather than real wood?
The Tree Ring Dating Kit uses simulated tree cores so every group gets consistent, readable samples without boring into living trees. The cores are not used up by the activity, so they can be collected after the lesson and used again.
What is the difference between the Type A and Type B cores?
The Tree Ring Dating Kit supplies two core types, 15 of each, so students can compare samples; the instruction manual explains how each type is used in the activity. Contact us before ordering if you need more detail on the two core types.
Who manufactures the Tree Ring Dating Kit?
The Tree Ring Dating Kit is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.
What else is needed to run the Tree Ring Dating Kit activity?
Only basic classroom items are needed with the Tree Ring Dating Kit: pencils for the worksheets, a ruler for measuring ring widths and, ideally, a magnifier for inspecting narrow rings. No specialist laboratory apparatus is required.
Which subjects can use the Tree Ring Dating Kit?
The Tree Ring Dating Kit fits biology lessons on plant growth, geography and environmental studies on past climate, and general science lessons on dating methods and the use of evidence, from secondary school to introductory college level.
Can extra worksheets or cores be ordered for the Tree Ring Dating Kit?
Ask us about additional worksheets or simulated cores for the Tree Ring Dating Kit when you enquire through our contact page. As the manufacturer, we can confirm which components can be quoted separately for your order.
