About Amy
Expertise
I love understanding how things work, especially when it comes to living things. I`ve spent most of my life studying science and love passing on this knowledge to kids. I currently work in a children`s science museum where I`ve designed science exhibits on all sorts of topics; including predators, music, weather, water, technology and much, much more! I`m happy to answer questions about anything you have problems with at school or help you with science projects. Also, I can help teachers with ideas for classroom activities. Please note that I don`t answer homework questions.

Experience
I have an honours degree in Biochemistry and work as a science communicator for the National Science and Technology Centre in Australia.

Question
i need to help my daughter to make a one minute timer please help

Answer
Hi,
I think theres something wrong with this website at the moment bacause I've only now recieved your question.

I think the quickest way to make a timer would be to make your own "egg" timer. Grab a funnel with a thin neck or make one out of coffee filter paper. Find some dry sand, or sugar. It's important that it's dry so it doesn't clump. Place a container underneath the funnel and try pouring in various amounts of sand through the funnel to get the timing right.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,
amy
