Positives

Additional Prerequisites

• 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.

Differentiation

• Aquarium stores are good places to find materials for different kinds of water testing (dissolved oxygen, pH, etc.).
