These durable, non-toxic thermometers measure from -30°C to 120°C and from -22°F to 240°F. Safe to use, these thermometers are made from plastic and are mercury-free. Use them for measuring the boiling points of various liquids.

These durable thermometers are great for elementary and middle school students to use when measuring temperature, especially since they go from below 0 to above 100 degrees Celsius. I have also used them for 100th day of school activities when measuring ice, cool water, room temp. air, hand temp., boiling water, and steam. For the elementary grades, I recommend coloring in the below zero areas with blue sharpie, so they do not get confused with below 10 degrees and above 10 degrees or even covering up the Fahrenheit side with masking tape to only measure in one scale..

Not as depicted. Only contains the 10x10x10 cube, but the picture shows the cube, four 10x10 rectangles, four 1x10 sticks, and nine 1x1 cubes. $50 for a single, hollow 10cm plastic cube? Very disappointed!. Derek. ON. Wed, 13 Sep 2017

An economical way to bring rods into the classroom. Use with 12-18 students.

These rods appear to be of good quality. The plastic "lid" can be challenging to open and students might end up dropping them as a result. This is the only reason I gave it 4 stars. There is lots of space in the package so it isn't hard to get the lid back on. I bought these as giveaways for a math conference and need many individual packages so this was a perfect purchase for us.. Sandi. Undisclosed. Fri, 11 May 2018
