Sieve Set – 6 Mesh Sizes with Pan, Lid & Teacher’s Guide (KS3+) [1185]

This comprehensive Set of 6 Sieves is ideal for KS3 and above, enabling students to separate, grade, and analyse soil, sediment, and rock samples with accuracy. Each sieve features a different mesh size, helping learners determine particle size distribution and understand soil structure.

The set includes six mesh sieves, a bottom pan to collect fine material, a lid to prevent spillage, and a detailed Teacher’s Guide for easy classroom integration. With a convenient 17 cm external diameter, the sieves are compact, durable, and perfect for fieldwork or laboratory use.

Mesh Size Details

• #5 mesh – 0.151" opening (3.84 mm): medium & large gravel will not pass
• #10 mesh – 0.0725" opening (1.84 mm): small gravel will not pass
• #35 mesh – 0.0173" opening (0.44 mm): coarse sand will not pass
• #60 mesh – 0.0092" opening (0.23 mm): coarse & medium sand will not pass
