Simulating Natural Selection Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-GAIE-6897
Jlab Export is a leading Simulating Natural Selection Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Simulating Natural Selection (code EL-GAIE-6897) is a classroom activity in a game-like format that recreates the natural selection seen in peppered moths in England during the Industrial Revolution. Using tree-trunk backgrounds and moth cutouts, students discover why darker moths came to survive and reproduce more often. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

What Is Simulating Natural Selection Used For?
The peppered moth is the textbook case of industrial melanism. Before industrialisation most moths in England were pale and hard to see against lichen-covered bark; as soot from coal burning darkened the tree trunks, the pale moths stood out to birds while the dark form was hidden, so dark moths survived to breed and became common in industrial areas. When the air became cleaner, the pale form recovered. Class 12 biology uses this example in the evolution chapter, and the activity lets students work through the same steps themselves: variation in a population, a selection pressure, unequal survival and reproduction, and a change in the population over generations.
A common way to run it is in rounds. One student plays the predator and removes the moth cutouts that are easiest to spot on a given background; the survivors are counted and “reproduce” for the next round, and the class then repeats the game on a different trunk colour and compares the results. Because it needs no live insects, it works in any classroom and suits secondary biology, teacher-training courses and first-year college lessons on evolution. Count the pieces back into the set after each lesson so the next class starts with everything it needs.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 sets; many schools order one per group of students.
- Contents — the number of backgrounds and moth cutouts is not given in the listing, so ask JLab to confirm what each set contains.
- Companion items — evolution posters or fossil kits can be quoted together for a complete evolution unit.
- Delivery — destination, packing and any labelling for distribution to several schools.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this activity teach?
The key steps of natural selection, through the history of the peppered moth: a varied population meets a change in its environment, the better-hidden moths survive and reproduce more, and over generations the population shifts towards the darker form.
What comes in the set?
The listing describes backgrounds that simulate the colour of various tree trunks and peppered moth cutouts. It does not give the number of pieces, so JLab confirms the contents with your quotation.
Are live moths or specimens needed?
No. The activity uses moth cutouts against tree-trunk backgrounds, so there is nothing to collect, keep alive or preserve.
Which classes can use it?
It fits the class 12 evolution chapter, where industrial melanism is the classic example of natural selection, and it can introduce adaptation in lower secondary classes or first-year college biology.
Who manufactures this activity?
JLab, the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India and quotes for it directly.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, an Indian manufacturer of biology teaching kits and laboratory equipment, incorporated in 2017 and located on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. This activity is produced in JLab’s own works and not sourced from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers deal directly with the maker, each set is visually checked before dispatch, and reorders are handled by the same team. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Canada in North America, Jamaica in Central America and the Caribbean, Mozambique in East Africa, Iceland in Northern Europe and Slovenia in Southern Europe.
