Product Details
Introduce students to air and water pollutants using this comprehensive, hands-on kit. Students will gain a deeper understanding of air quality by performing valuable experiments to detect smoke, particulate materials and acidic gases in air. Safe and easy tablet-type tests are used to explore critical water factors, such as pH, phosphate and ammonia. Kit includes detailed background information, complete instructions and reproducible student handouts.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs.
This kit contains hazardous materials and is therefore not returnable due to DOT regulations.
