Urban Water Quality Test Kit |
|
 |
The life style of youth in the city often does not include involvement in outdoor activities or contact with nature. They may feel that environmental issues are not a part of their world when actually, urban environmental issues involving waters are all around them. |
|
This kit provides a hands-on introduction to the basic concepts of water chemistry and environmental awareness in urban areas.All of the necessary equipment is included to test for the following test factors using our non-hazardous Testab methods - Chlorine, Copper, Iron, Hardness, Nitrate, pH, Phosphates, and Temperature. Methods are suitable for testing drinking water, run-off, and street puddles. Comprehensive handbook also included. Everyone has the opportunity and the responsibility to insure that they have safe drinking water for the future. Recommended for ages 6 and up. |

GREEN Water Monitoring Kit |
||||
(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, TesTab® method as the GREEN 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. |
