Water Testing Kit Experiments and Instruction Materials
Water knowledge booklets and test strips engage students in identifying 8 water contaminants / conditions, and learning appropriate corrective action to improve water quality. Free Shipping! 
Ideally sized kit for a science fair project or small group experiment. Water knowledge booklets and test strips engage students in identifying 8 water contaminants / conditions, and learning appropriate corrective action to improve water quality.

Students will test for: 
Nitrates 
Nitrites 
pH 
Alkalinity 
Hardness 
Chlorine 
Copper 
Iron 
The SCHOOL PROJECT KIT contains enough material for 5 students.
The Project Kit includes two copies of the 10 page Water Knowledge Booklets.

For science fairs and classroom project ideas...

Gather various drinking water samples from local restaurants, public drinking water fountains, swimming pools, public showers, etc. 
Test each sample for Bacterial Growth Level.

For those samples with high levels of indicated bacteria, conduct further testing. 

Test for "unhealthy" levels of coliform bacteria, positive or negative,
and/or
For those samples with possible unhealthy levels of coliform bacteria indicated: 

Students can then use the growing media in the petri dish testing kit (a single test divided up to be used for multiple samples to save money) and the student can try to identify the different types of bacteria under a microscope. 


Additional ideas: Sample public doorknobs, public restroom fixtures, telephones, public computers, etc.
Tests can be performed on surfaces by adding deionized/distilled water to the swab, take sample, and swab onto the strip.
Make sure to take/keep a clean baseline sample for a comparison.

Sterilized sample vials and swabs are optional.

For display purposes, students may want to photograph test strips and microscope slides in case of future contamination.
