How do you measure solids without weight?

This doesn't really measure anything. It can tell a child which object is heavier but not by how much. It can tell a student if the objects are equal in weight. What ever is being measured has to be small enough to fit into the little containers, so beans, rice or very small blocks would work.

I am in need of two replacement buckets for the balance. Are the buckets available seperatly?

I have never seen them sold separately

I want to use this in my classroom - 1st graders - any teachers out there who are using it - your thoughts? Thank you!

I bought it to use at home with my then first grader.... With this tool students will be able to tell which object/thing is heavier and if they are equal... that's about it. If you have super small objects to use that may allow you to have a deeper discussion about how the weight is changing. I have found that most objects I wanted to use were too large for the containers or immediately changed it from too big on the left to too big on the right.

Is this a clock of scale? the item description indicates it's a clock

No, there is no clock in the scale set. This is an error in the posting.

Brilliant and educational

I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old daughter and she loves playing with it we have had this out most days weighing different items from around the house. It is very well made and durable which is fab especially with a toddler playing with it. The scales are just the right size for a young child to play with and brightly coloured which makes it more appealing.I like the draw at the front you can fit quite a few items in there to keep things tidy which all moms will love.

A good idea but fiddly to use. Would quite a 7+ not a 5 year old. The buckets come off really easily and the balance Mark is hard to see would be better a different colour. The kids don't fit well. It suggests you use for liquids too i wouldn't unless you really want a mess to clean up!

Very please with purchase

Lovely set of scales for small children to use. Easy to set the balance, weighing things in the buckets or trays, able to create lots of play whilst learning and recognising the difference in sizes, weight and encourages patience to get the scales to balance. I had thought they were a bit pricey but having been used they appear to be worth it

Good but

Great product but you only get the scales, buckets and lids. No items to weigh as shown in the photos. The buckets are very brittle and may not last and without them the scales are useless. Great item whilst it lasts

Much loved already

Christmas day: Mr Two did not get around to unwrapping all his gifts, including the weights as he was fascinated by the scales and weighed everything and anything against other things. Candy canes from the tree against ornaments, paper against candy canes, spoons against knives and so many other combinations were discovered by him. Such a joy to watch him learn while playing.
