My Project
My environmental science students are embarking on a unit where they will be designing water quality studies comparing urban and rural streams. I want my students to be able to apply the scientific method by designing their experiments.
My students love hands-on learning and this water quality testing kit will provide the supplies needed for an authentic science experience.
Student will come up with their research questions, hypothesize a possible answer, and then test their hypotheses using materials from this kit and then report on their findings in a science fair format.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
