Backpack Lab Water Quality Educational Test Kit

Backpack Lab Water Quality Educational Test Kit

These kits are specifically designed for educators and environmental science students. These portable kits contain well constructed lessons and activities and will allow the teacher to get the most out of their classroom time. The backpack lab lets you keep all the necessary components in one place, reducing the chance of misplacing an item.

This is ideal for field use and transportation over rough terrain. The lesson plan and components are tied together by a comprehensive teachers manual that includes information about each parameter, classroom acitivities  designed to introduce students to each parameter, and detailed field testing procedures. These parameter test kits and pocket testers provide teachers with a valuable tool in helping students assess the water quality of streams, rivers and lakes.
