Teaching Materials
Positives
- It includes a guide for study design, recommendations for types of tests that can be run, detailed instructions for running those different types of tests, and data collection sheets.
Additional Prerequisites
- If you are unable to obtain the full testing kit, another option would be to piece together the different materials and tests yourself, depending on which investigations you want students to run.
- Aquarium stores are good places to find materials for different kinds of water testing (dissolved oxygen, pH, etc.).
Differentiation
- Be sure to consider safety practices if taking students into the field to gather samples.
- Covering all exposed skin is a must when collecting samples and probably a good idea when running tests as well.
