Mercury Hour Glass

Instructions:

Hold carefully and turn vertically. Watch the liquid metal drop. Because of the liquid properties of mercury, each drop is spaced one second apart.

Safety Information: Do not allow others to handle the hourglass. Store in layers of bubble wrap and box. If the glass breaks, evacuate the room and contact Jeanie Talbot or Health and Safety to clean it up.

Location: Demo Room Shelf O1.
