Grades 3 and up
Excelent for some purposes, probably not in an elementary school classroom
Whether these thermometers are ideal for classroom use is doubtful. The cardboard backing is merely stiff paper, and the received calibration is rudimentary – my set had a 6K difference between the max and min readings. However, I bought them for a serious purpose and found it quite easy, for an adult, to loosen the straps that attach the glass to the calibrated paper and slide the easily read liquid columns to the same reading. I then attached the top of the tubes to the paper with rubber cement. The result is a set of inexpensive, light weight sensors capable of providing comparative readings +/-0.5K in an experimental forced air passive solar assisted residential building. I’m very pleased with the product for adult use in a benign environment.
They are not accurate but 4 of 10 were ok
They are cheap enough but they are not accurate, needed them for my sons science experiment we found 4 of the 10 to read the same others are as much as 4deg C out.
Three Stars
Okay basic thermometer but the temperature reading is not consistent between thermometers and not necessarily accurate.
These were great and easy to read for young students and simple experiments. They are attached to a plastic backing, so be sure to note the maximum temp they can be used it. Also, these were not very accurate, but were great for our purposes which were learning to use a thermometer and measuring temperature changes.
Used these to monitor how our heat and A/C were performing in our home. We put them around the house in different rooms so we could see whether warm and cool air were reaching all areas of our home and where changes might need to be made in our HVAC system. They’re inexpensive and would be perfect for school projects also.
Good and Cheap, but they break easily.
These thermometers do not succeed at telling the temperature — so they are of no use. There were 10 of them (I sent them back), and they read 10 different temperatures. The spread was 20 degrees at room temperature. I attached Post-It notes to each of them and marked the reading “84,” as it was 84 degrees in the dining room at that moment. My plan was to calibrate them myself and use them. However, the next morning, when the temperature in the dining room was 72 degrees, some of them were still at the 84 degree mark, some were lower. Several were lower by the same amount — but not a lot of them. So, it’s not that the tube is stapled to the card in the wrong place. There is no right place because the measuring mechanism itself doesn’t work.
I used this product for a 2nd grade science project. The students used them well.
