Water Quality Testing Grades 6-12
Specialists accompany your students to a nearby waterway to conduct water quality assessments. They provide pre- and post-field trip lessons to use in your classroom. Topics include chemical assessments and biological investigations using macro invertebrates as indicators of clean water. Field trips are dependent on your school transportation availability.
