Start the hourglass and ponder the present as an ephemeral segue between the past and future, like the sands of time. Sandglass, sand timer, sand watch, sand clock, egg timer, whatever you want to call it, this ancient time instrument now has a scientific twist.

Watch as the sands drop through the narrow funnel and attach to each other in unique tower structures. This wicked timer contains enough magic, magnetic dust to create 30 seconds of scientific action. Or remove the base and use it as a normal timer.
