Do you want to know what factors determine if water is clean enough to drink? The Water Testing SEEDKIT is a hands-on activity designed to help students learn how to test water quality, and understand what makes water healthy or unhealthy for human use. This kit can be used to conduct a school workshop or as part of a larger collaborative workshop. You can also lead a short workshop at any school in your area, or do a science project with your own kids at home.

This SEEDKIT includes an introductory video, instructional videos, workshop outline, slide presentation, laboratories and articles from the SEED online science center. The kit also includes the chemicals and test tubes needed to for the activity. All you need is a water sample from a local pond, stream, lake, drinking fountain, or even your own kitchen faucet.
