4M Potato Clock DIY Green Science Chemistry Engineering Lab - STEM Toys Educational Gift for Kids & Teens, Girls & Boys, Brown

This is a fascinating gift for kids. The clock actually works when they follow directions. They can try different energy sources as well.

My son loved this! He had a blast using it. Instructions were easy to follow and complete. We had it on our counter for weeks and still Worked with new potatoes as needed.

Son and I had a good moment, still works, and plan to try way to make it fun.

A gift for a 10+ kid who is into science. I am familiar with the potato clock set-up, but it seems that a novice could also follow the instructions with ease. May need an adult to help twist the wires onto the copper and zinc conductors (similar to a thread-the-needle technique). You have two options to set this up: 1) buy two potatoes, or 2) use soda in the included plastic cups. Both methods yield the same result, but the soda method can be tedious. If the conductors touch inside the cup of soda, then the experiment does not work. Lots of DIY videos online using zinc nails and pennies if you need to grasp the basic concept. Only gripe is that the clock could be a little more user-friendly. It doesn't sit upright on its own and doesn't have the "press and hold" feature for set-up that most clocks/watches do. Therefore, if it tips over or you have an accidental bump of the wrong button, it will probably reset. May want to create your own labels for the two clock buttons to aid the youngsters.

Gather 'round, family, I've got a wondrous tale, Of a clock that's powered, not by battery, nor by gale. Yes, it's true, and you'll all be in shock, Here's the story of the mighty Potato Clock! Oh, Potato Clock, Potato Clock, you run on spuds so fine, With your tuber power, you're one of a kind. Just grab a tater, and watch the magic start, A clock that's fueled by veggies, oh, it's state of the art. Yes, Potato Clock, Potato Clock, you amaze and you surprise, With your earthy charm, you dazzle all our eyes. The kids will think you're magic, the spouse will surely grin, And if we get too hungry, we can always snack on you again! Oh, Potato Clock, Potato Clock, you're the envy of the town, A ticking, tocking wonder, no wires to weigh you down. Your secret's in the spud, that's right there on the shelf, Powering up our days, with a little veggie

Was cheap. But it worked decent enough and had no missing parts. Its good for the money and got the job done.

I bought it last year for my kids and I knew it was a must to add it to my gift basket with the theme of Science Experiments. It is easy to use and a fun way to teach about electrify and Anode Cathode concept.

This is just OK product. I bought it for my 9 years old son so that he can learn a little bit of science behing energy and how that stored in a potato can be used to run a clock. The time on this clock resets to 12 am (default) some time after you set the current time and date. The clock resets by itself several times a day and my son has stopped paying any attention to it. I guess not a bad product for the price but again I expected it to run a bit better.

Really fun for kids to do but the clock wokr keep time once set. It stays on , super cool, buy resets to 12:00

O relógio batata funciona bem. Entrega correta

unfortunately we didn't get it to work no matter how many times we redid the wiring and how many potatoes we stabbed

Creative skill.

My Grandson loved it.
