Seismograph Model

Product Code : SCL-ALE-11961

Seismograph Model (SKU SCL-ALE-11961) is an educational model for practical lessons on earthquakes and the instruments that detect and record ground movement. It explains that a seismograph records ground motion while the record it produces is a seismogram, and suits geography, geology, Earth science and physics classes in schools and colleges. Science Lab Supplies makes this model in its own Saha, Ambala, India facility and offers it to schools, colleges, resellers and tender contractors.

Specifications

Set out below are the specifications of this earthquake teaching model. In short, it is one demonstration unit for the basic principle of ground-motion recording and the role of inertia; its mechanism, mass and drum arrangement, recording medium, material and dimensions are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications and Experiments for the Seismograph Model

With gentle, controlled movement applied according to the design of the model, students watch how its moving and stationary parts respond relative to each other. Any trace produced is then compared with a real seismogram, so the class can discuss inertia and how seismic recording works without treating the model as a measuring device.

• Middle-school geography: earthquakes, seismic waves and how they are recorded.
• Earth science and geology: seismographs, seismograms and the structure of the Earth.
• Physics: inertia of a suspended mass, studied further with the 1 m cord and angular scale of the Pendulum Set.
• Timing oscillations with the stopwatch and 50 cm ruler of the Mathematical Pendulum Demonstration Apparatus.

Avoid heavy impacts or forced vibration, and check that moving parts are secure before each demonstration.

Standard Scope of Supply

The Seismograph Model is supplied as one demonstration unit. The quotation describes its frame, mass, spring or pendulum arrangement, stylus and recording surface, together with material and size, so the department can confirm which parts are present and how the model is operated before the order is placed.

Packing, MOQ and Lead Time

A quotation can be issued for one seismograph model or for several, for example one per geography room in a school group. It states packing, delivery time and price for the chosen number, and rock sets, Earth-structure models or other STEM science kits in India can be priced on it too.

Science Lab Supplies, an Importer-Exporter Code holder, can ship to buyers in Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru and Egypt. For a price on this model, get in touch on the contact page or list it in the enquiry cart; institutions running a tender can follow the lab tender page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a seismograph and a seismogram?
A seismograph is an instrument that records ground motion. A seismogram is the record of that motion produced by the instrument, and the model is used to make this distinction clear to students.

Can the model measure real earthquakes?
No. It is a teaching aid for explaining how ground motion is detected and recorded. It is not calibrated earthquake-monitoring equipment and should not be presented as such.

How does the model show inertia?
In a seismograph, a suspended mass tends to stay still through inertia while the frame moves with the ground. Where the supplied model has such a mass, students can watch this relative motion and link it to how real instruments sense shaking.

Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Every seismograph model on this page is fabricated in-house by Science Lab Supplies at Saha, Ambala, India. Prices, packing and dispatch are handled by the maker rather than through an agent.
