Earth Science on School Instrument India lists 37 items directly, plus a further 38 specimen collections in the Rocks Specimens sub-range — 75 in total for geography, geology and environmental science teaching. The range divides into four different kinds of teaching aid: reference pieces such as globes and maps, solid models of landforms and tectonic processes, real rock and mineral specimen collections, and field instruments for taking measurements outdoors. Dimensions and materials below are the figures printed on the linked product pages.

What the range contains

The Identification Sequence

The Rocks Specimens sub-range contains something easy to miss when scanning a product list: eight separate collections of ten specimens each, every one built around a single physical property. Taken together they follow the order a geologist actually works through when identifying an unknown mineral, which makes them a teaching sequence rather than eight unrelated boxes. A department buying them piecemeal usually ends up with gaps in the middle of that sequence.

The eight property sets teach how to identify; the comprehensive sets give material to identify. Rock-forming minerals comes as ten, mineral sets as twenty, thirty, and the rocks and minerals set as fifty. Loose specimens are listed separately for replacing pieces that go missing from a set, which they will.

Specimen collections by theme

Beyond the property sequence, the sub-range groups specimens two further ways: by material type and by where the material is used. The second group is what makes a mineralogy lesson land with students who are not going to become geologists.

• By material — metallic ores, 20, gems, 20, crystals, 15, stones, 20; alloys, 20; metals, 12; woods, 12; glass, 9; plastics, 6; plus collections of fibres and of soils and clays.
• By where it is used — minerals used in the cement industry, the paper industry, the paints industry (15), in building a house, around the home, in the kitchen (6), and a 50-piece set covering minerals used across different industries.
• Loose and bulk — loose mineral specimens, loose ore specimens, a general rock set, and a combined metals and alloys set, for topping up or for class handling where breakage is expected.

Relief and process models

The dismountable contour model and the glacier pair are the two that do something a diagram cannot: students take the contour strata apart to see what an interval means, and set the two glacier halves side by side. For wall display rather than handling, the 100 x 75 cm relief models come framed with hooks.

Field instruments

• Compasses — a large magnetic compass for demonstration, a mapping compass for use on a sheet, and a liquid-filled magnetic compass for steadier field readings. Plotting and pocket compasses are also listed under Electricity & Magnetism with the magnetism apparatus.
• Clinometer — for measuring vertical heights and slope angles, listed as reading up to 70° above or below the horizon.
• Brass Sextant — for celestial altitude measurement and finding latitude from a meridian altitude observation.
• Weather Station — UV-stabilised impact-resistant ABS and polycarbonate, with a dual-scale analogue thermometer reading °C and °F, a low-friction 360° rotating vane with speed indicator, a graduated removable rain gauge marked in millimetres and inches, a screen-printed wind chill matrix and an integrated post-mount bracket.
• Soil Sifter — for separating soil fractions in the field, used alongside the soils and clays collection indoors.

Globes and maps

Twelve reference pieces are listed. The geographical reference globe is the general-purpose choice for topography and coordinates. The illuminated globe works as two globes in one, showing different information lit and unlit, which suits a room where one globe has to cover both physical and political geography. A physical shading globe, a globe with ocean relief and antiquity globes are also listed, along with a 5.5 inch moon globe. For wall work the range covers plastic wall maps, print maps, dual maps and a 3D world map, and the map reading model bridges between a flat sheet and the ground it represents.

Working out an Earth Science order

Order the specimen collections by how they will be used rather than by piece count: the eight property sets for teaching identification, one comprehensive set per group for practice, and loose specimens as consumable replacement stock. Models split between handling pieces and wall display, and the framed 100 x 75 cm relief models need wall space allocating before they arrive. According to the ordering pages, institutional purchase orders, bank transfers and government e-tender payments are accepted from schools, colleges, universities and training institutions in India. Supply is also stated to institutions in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Tendered geography and geology requirements go through the Tenders page.

Two things are worth asking about explicitly when the enquiry goes in. First, specimen sizes are not stated on most collection pages, and they matter for class handling, so ask for the specimen size range in the quotation. Second, several collections share a name but differ in count — mineral sets are listed at 20, 30 and in earthy and general variants — so quote the product code rather than the name alone.

Questions buyers ask

How many items are in the Earth Science range?
37 listed directly under Earth Science, plus 38 specimen collections in the Rocks Specimens sub-range, so 75 in total. The direct items are models, globes, maps and field instruments; the sub-range is rock, mineral and material collections.

Which specimen sets should a school buy first?
The eight property collections of ten — hardness, lustre, streak, cleavage, fracture, tenacity, specific gravity, and feel and odour — because they teach the identification method. Add one comprehensive set for practice: rock-forming minerals at ten, or thirty or fifty specimens for a larger department.

How many specimens are in the Mohs hardness set?
Nine. The Mohs Hardness Set is listed as a nine-specimen collection for comparing scratch resistance, while the Mohs scale itself runs from 1 to 10.

What is the difference between the relief models and the contour model?
The 3D relief models are framed wall pieces, 100 x 75 cm in vacuum-formed rigid PVC with a markable and washable surface, for display and annotation. The contour gradient model is a handling piece built in dismountable layers, so students can take the elevation intervals apart and see what a contour line means.

What angle range does the clinometer cover?
The clinometer is listed as giving readings up to 70° above or below the horizon, for measuring slope gradients and working out vertical heights by angular measurement.

Can replacement specimens be ordered for a set?
Yes. Loose mineral specimens and loose ore specimens are listed separately from the sets, which is the route for replacing pieces lost or broken out of a collection. Quote the collection the piece belongs to in the enquiry through the contact page.

Request a quotation

Send the item names, product codes and quantities through the contact page, and a quotation covering packing and despatch will be returned against that list. For specimen collections, asking for the specimen size range at the same time saves a second exchange. Current ISO certificate copies can be requested from School Instrument India.
