Comments about Arbor Scientific Trundle Wheel:

The very first time I used my Trundles with my class, all three I purchased broke. I am very disappointed about the quality of the counter clicker. The clicker is made of plastic and very thin. I have the pieces, but do not know how to fix the product:(

Inexpensive, but unfortunately the handle is short and the delicate plastic clicking mechanism broke on our third use.

Trundle Wheel is a HIT

By Tahonia from KCMO on 11/4/2006

Pros:

Easy To Use, Effective Demonstration, Fun, Interactive, Promotes Learning

Best Uses:

School, Students, Teachers

Comments about Arbor Scientific Trundle Wheel:

We measured the length of dinosaurs. It was great for class demonstration, because they could hear the click, even if they couldn't see the wheel turning. They decided then that they needed to measure the entire playground, and the trundle wheel survived a recess!
