Elementary Education Watershed Field Trip helps to explain the Watershed and provides guidelines on taking a field trip, conducting water quality tests, and data sheets for collection and interpretation of data.
Too Shallow for a Secchi Disk? Turbidity is easily measured by using a standardized turbidity reagent to match the turbidity of a water sample. All the necessary apparatus and reagents needed to test four basic water quality test factors and detailed instructions are housed in a secure foam insert within a rugged field carrying case. Economical reagent refill packages are available for either the entire outfit or individual reagents.
A popular, economical tool for learning the basics of water quality. No other test kit on the market compares to this portable, easy-to-use water testing kit. Students will have fun analyzing sample water for eight different test factors. This complete kit includes a manual with step-by-step, diagrammed instructions; an easy-to-use laminated color chart, and all the necessary apparatus and non-hazardous TesTabs® to test ten water samples (three samples for coliform).
Use this kit at home or pack it into a field bag and explore the water quality of natural aquatic systems nearby. The Earth Force Low Cost Water Monitoring Kit can be used to test fresh, brackish, or saline aquatic environments.
A great learning and water testing tool for any investigator ages 8 to 98! Ideal for citizen monitoring efforts, too.
(now offered with bi-lingual instruction manuals in English and Spanish)
An inquiry-based approach to watershed education. Students ask questions, learn to design and implement a river study from acquiring and reading watershed maps to determining/scheduling study sites and water quality testing. They will then compile and analyze results, share the results with their community, and learn to take action through a variety of productive avenues and disciplines.
A great tool for beginning a school-based, community involved water monitoring program. Includes a valuable, comprehensive manual and a set of 9 test factor modules. Same economical, safe, TesTabs® method as the Earth Force Low Cost Water Monitoring Kit. Each module contains easy-to-read, diagrammed instructions; a color chart; a test factor flashcard; and all the necessary apparatus and non-hazardous TesTabs® to perform 100 tests (44 tests for coliform bacteria; unlimited for benthic macroinvertebrates and turbidity).
Recommended for grades 4 and higher. Also ideal for community groups/citizen monitoring efforts.
