Environmental Testing Kit

Learn how environmental scientists study pollution by testing air and water samples from your local area.

• Kit includes nine different tests to determine the air and water quality of samples collected from your community

• There are enough materials for 15 groups of students
• Teacher's Manual and Student Study Guide copymaster are included

Investigate your water quality by testing for dissolved oxygen levels, water hardness, pH, and phosphate and chloride content. Then test for particulate and chemical pollutants in the air, measure smoke density, and learn how excess carbon dioxide in air can affect the environment.
