This Nitrate-Nitrogen Test Kit tests for Nitrate-Nitrogen levels using cadmium reduction which undergoes diazotization/coupling to form a pink color. Levels are determined using the Octa-Slide 2 comparator. Range and sensitivity is 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0 ppm NO3-N.
These tests strips test for a wide range of pH levels. Range is 0-14/1.0 pH.
This COD heater block features digital microprocessor control, programmable timer and temperature settings, and a dual LED display to monitor both temperature and timer. Perfect for COD, Total Phosphorus, and Total Nitrogen testing PLUS other tests requiring digestion.

Macro Mania is a classroom adventure that introduces the use of stream macroinvertebrates to determine water quality. Lecture material sets the scene for the activity.
Students will learn about the influence of land use on water quality and the practice of macroinvertebrate sampling to measure water quality. Six teams will be given a deck of macroinvertebrate cards representing a sample of macroinvertebrates from one of three sites, a poster-sized sorting sheet and a map. By sorting the deck of cards onto the sorting sheets, students will determine the water quality at their site from the distribution of macroinvertebrates in their sample. Optional math, public speaking, writing, art and card game extensions will further emphasize the land use/water quality connection. Includes a deck of cards and sorting sheets for six teams. Also includes Macro Mania manual containing background information, step-by-step instructions for activities and extensions. Colorful Macro Mania classroom poster is also included!
Colonize submerged leaves in stream habitats. The ability of freshwater macroinvertebrates to flourish depends upon the properties of the water and conditions in the environment. The relative abundance and variety of freshwater macroinvertebrates can be used as bioindicators to assess the quality of the water and the effects of land use on the environment.
Help kids understand the life cycle and habitats of freshwater aquatic macroinvertebrates with this set of flashcards and manual. The 22 full-color cards feature photos of both immature and adult insect stages, and detail life cycle and habitat information. The accompanying manual contains facts on insect characteristics, life cycles, taxonomy, classification, food webs and how macroinvertebrates can be indicators of water quality.
Instructions for activities with the cards are included. The Freshwater Aquatic Macroinvertebrate: Insect Life Cycle and Habitat Flashcards can be used as an extension to the Freshwater Aquatic Macroinvertebrate: Identification Flashcards and the Leaf Pack Experiments Stream Ecology Kit.
Use this set of 18 full color flash cards alone or as an addition to any macroinvertebrate activity. (Included in the Leaf Pack Experiments Stream Ecology Kit). The front of each card features a full-color photograph of a common macroinvertebrate in its natural environment. A list of dichotomous characteristics, a measuring scale, and detailed drawings on the back of each card aid in the identification process.
Helpful notes prevent confusion between macroinvertebrates with a similar appearance. A hole can be punched in the wide border of the laminated cards so they can be organized on a ring for field or classroom use.
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.
A precision, NON-MERCURY thermometer, furnished in a protective plastic jacket with a window opening. Engraved graduations on white tubing increase the readability over the full range of -5° to 45°C in 0.5° increments.
