Questions & Answers

- I have two questions you should know Plastics are used in ALL of the components Can you tell me whether the hourglass is What is the water resistance of this (e.g. Is it okay for me to take a shower?)?

Components of the outside are made of Having said that, the sand capsule with the sand inside is a fairly sturdy glass and doesn't require much effort to take apart. If it were in a shower, it would probably be fine.

The consistency of the calculations and the accuracy to 1 minute, how do they compare to each other?

It was a little slower than the one I had before. Reading words is all I ask them to do. There's a 4 out of 5 chance of being right.

Is it possible for me to have just 2 minutes for everything?

There is a product number TCR20647 you need to search Teaching Store *br>

Does the bag contain all four of the same color, or are there other choices?

Purple was the color of all of them.

You do the crime, you do the time
5/5

Perfect for training your pup. This isn't right. What a tot! They were bought for my 2 year old so that she could see when time-put would end, but I ended up using them to establish different levels of consequence for various !Throw a Lego at the flat and see what the results are! I'll be back in two minutes! Feel like a ninja? Watch this and you'll practice your roundhouse kick on a dog! Only 5 minutes to go!

Do you think you can stroll out of time-out and kick the ball on the ground with a Lincoln log? The timer gets slowed down! This would also be perfect for teaching colors, "Not the green one Dada!" Working on teaching him that multiple offenders end up in prison for life, but he always hits parole again with the same crooked smile, ending up back on the streets. There will come a day when this bronco will be broken.

I use it in the shower all the time! Having these sand timers around the house has been a great help for me
5/5

There were four different sand timers included in the combo pack I ordered. The total is three for each. Sand timers are 5 inches tall and 1 inch wide. There are four to choose from The one minute timer is in red, the two minute timer is in blue, the three minute timer is in yellow, and the five minute timer is in Each timer was found to be accurate after testing. The fact that the timers show the minute(s) on both sides is wonderful. There is a small brochure that provides some different school activities in this set. The five minute clock proved to be the biggest draw to me with this set. A hair treatment that I use in the shower required something to help me time it. Five minutes has to pass before I can leave my treatment. It wasn't so easy for me to keep up with the count in my head. In order to find a timer, I searched the web. When I first thought of it, I thought that it would need to be a digital timer, but I came across some issues, such as the need for batteries, making sure it was waterproof, and how it needs In searching for a timer, I came across sand timers and thought this would be much easier to handle and would be much cheaper as well. Leaving the sand in the shower a long time may cause the sand to become hard and cease to work properly. Even though I have sat in the shower for three months, I haven't experienced any problems.

The timers are able to withstand some heavy abuse
5/5

For my kids' time outs, I got these. They are a lot like running shoes for you. Here's the thing Mill sand timers, however, can last even after being run through a garbage disposal in the kitchen sink.

I love timers, but be cautious because they can easily break
3/5

This timer is one of the best gifts I've ever received as a former teacher and aunt/frequent babysitter. I often place the timer on for the kids so that they clean up quickly, share toys, sit quietly and read, etc. The kids love the timer too and often ask me to set it Overall, both the price and the quality of this item seem to be pretty good. The other day when I used the two minute timer, the sand had fallen out of the hourglass and was now sitting in the outer tube of the timer. It has only been a few weeks since I bought the timers. I am hoping it was only one defective item and the others won't be broken as well. As a rule I don't let the kids touch them, and if one breaks just put it back, I won't let the kids use it. Be aware they may not be able to handle kids using them if one breaks I would request a replacement if I could find an email address, as I do not want to buy only one timer, and two minutes is a really handy length.

This is the perfect book for school and at As a former teacher, I wanted to devise ways to motivate it so he would stay focused
5/5

It would not be age appropriate for him to do that many worksheets in a day. In addition to lending them to his teacher, I asked him to use them as a game. See how much he could accomplish within the time limit. Being a perfectionist, rushing was not a concern for him. He only needed some guidance on how to complete his tasks. This made him concentrate on the message more, as there were several times in the text. I was able to complete my schoolwork on time.

I'd say that's pretty close! I'd say that's pretty close! In small study using an electronic timer, I found the following to be significant I operated on each side of them 10 times and most of the times were within 2 seconds of the stated time regardless of the operating The timer for 3 minutes in one direction is 2 seconds slower, while the timer in the other is 20 seconds slower
4/5

Rather than mark the timers, I just marked the end time where they measure. Having a good time is important to me. For the price, this is great.

I thought the timers were decent enough
5/5

Even though it is a toy I think it would be about They are good enough for their purpose, as long as they are 24 each. It is attached to two plastic stand ends and inserted into a plastic tube. expect them not to be broken if they fall to the floor, but stepping on them or sitting on them will likely lead to damage. Both ends are printed with the time and they are colored, which is nice, especially for the 3-hour display As you can barely read the yellow end caps' white text, it makes it difficult to read the minute timer. Sand timers are generally not incredibly accurate, but they do come close enough to their stated times to be useful. The speeds of all four varied because they were used so many times, but they all finished within plus or minus 10 seconds each time. The 1-step process seems to be the best but I have found a 1-step method It sometimes seems like the minute timer doesn't work The neck stops and the water In my experience, it does not seem to happen with the 3 or 2. As a general rule, I use this when lifting weights to time my rests in between sets, so it's not that critical, but I consider it if the timer isn't in view all the time. Despite this, they're still a good deal for the price and the.

The accuracy is good and the construction is There is a visible lean to all four of The reason is that they don't stand up The one minute timer is accurate to within one second from both directions using a stopwatch
4/5

I tested their accuracy from both directions twice using a stopwatch. It is within 10 seconds of being accurate when setting the two minute timer. There is a 12 second accuracy in the three minutes timer. Three seconds are within the accuracy of the five minute timer.
