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)
A creepy, crawly, wet investigation of the health of streams, ponds, and other freshwater environments. Following the easy-to-read BUGKIT manual, one to two students learn to collect, observe, sort, and identify aquatic insects as a tool for measuring water quality.
Students can complete the activity at home after collection or spend an afternoon outdoors beside a stream. The BUGKIT includes mesh leaf bags for collection, trays and plastic dishes for sorting, a magnifying lens, BUG GUIDE, and a BUG BOARD identification chart. Ideal for bug-hunters, age 8 and up.
The Insta-TEST® Copper & Iron Test Strip Kit measures Copper levels from 0-3.0 ppm and Iron levels from 0-5.0 ppm. The Copper test strip has been improved with a one-dip formula that offers very distinct colors. The one-dip Insta-TEST® Iron test strip formula eliminates the need to pre-treat the sample with a reduction tablet prior to measuring Iron with a test strip. The Iron strip makes the testing process simpler with just one dip of the strip into a pool or spa before matching the reaction to a color chart on the bottle. There are 25 strips packaged per bottle.
This kit tests for Nitrate-Nitrogen using tablet reagents and the Octa-Slide 2 Comparator. Range/sensitivity is 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15 ppm NO3-N.
A rugged field carrying case houses individual test kit modules and valuable handbooks to assist and supplement soil science studies. Each individual test module includes complete instructions, A Study of Soil Science handbook now available as a download, and all the necessary apparatus and reagents to perform 50 soil macronutrients tests.
A comprehensive introduction to the study of soil properties and nutrients. Includes the popular and easy-to-use soil sampling tube, soil sample bags, the Soil Texture Unit, and individual test modules for four important soil test factors (see Specifications).
The Insta-TEST® Total Chlorine test strips are a convenient way to test water for Total Chlorine. Range and sensitivity is 0, 0.5, 1, 3, 5 ppm.
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.
