Freshwater Education Testkit

Our Freshwater Education Testkit is specifically designed with educators in mind. We’ve curated the experience to help teachers become experts in water testing, giving youth hands-on experiences by the water.

In it, you’ll find 3 sets of our most popular tools: thermometers, conductivity meters, salinity meter, nitrate teststrip bottle, test strips containers, reacher sticks, and sample cups. You’ll also find equipment maps,  a dissolved oxygen testkit and a reel to help you do physical surveys of water bodies you test.

This testkit is perfect for groups of 15-20 students. In the teacher guide, you’ll find information on how to perform every test, tips for organizing an excursion, and detailed lesson plans.

The kits are designed to divide your learning group into three groups of testers for each excursion. The kits come with enough to take these groups of students out testing 25 times before any materials will run out.

The materials have a shelf life of 18-24 months typically, and we include a set of calibration solutions, so most users get two testing seasons of use at least before replenishing calibration or consumables.

Each testkit includes:

• 3 thermometers
• 3 conductivity meters (with calibration solution)
• 1 salinity meter
• 3 10-packs of teststrips for students (3 x 10 / container)
• 3 reacher sticks
