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..

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 May 11 2018

As many have said, and I wish I noticed before purchasing, these are awful in a classroom setting. Not until I opened the first (of many) boxes that I read the instructions to notice that it says you can not use more than 4 at a time. Honestly, anything more than one at time creates issues. I was trying to use this in Kindergarten and Grade 1 as an excellent introduction to simple coding using the cards and the remote to match but it became a headache of lost connections, ridiculous 4 input codes to tie a remote to a bot which can easily get messed up with multiple bots, and lots of disappointed kids. Now I have multiple of these robots and can not use them as intended. Waste of money, time, and I have to answer for why they do not work to my admin and staff.. Disappointed Stem Teacher.
