Product Description

 

Timing mats are pressure sensitive switches designed to be activated as you step on and off the mat.

 

These are two sizes of mats that are available.

  • stair tread sized (approx. 595 mm long by 170 mm wide) 
  • door mat sized (approx. 720 mm long by 390 mm wide).

A favourite activity for younger children is to find out how long they can stay in the air when they jump.

 

Teaching applications:
  • Introducing computer based timing
  • How long do I stay in the air when jumping
  • How fast do I run, hop or skip
  • How many jumps / steps in minute
  • Speed of a bicycle
Extension and advanced ideas:
  • Foot operated trigger
