We are very excited to let you know that a series of Water Quality Testing instructional videos are now available on the River Detectives website in the login-required section, “
Let’s Test and Record – Help Me Test Water Science” – the one-stop shop for all essential resources for water quality testing.
Please use them as a quick way to remind yourself of the process, to teach other staff or to show students as an introduction to water quality sessions.
They include;
- An introduction to Water Quality Testing – familiarisation with a water quality kit, data sheet and demonstration of collecting your sample
- Temperate Test – equipment and demo
- pH Test – equipment and demo
- EC Test – equipment and demo
- Turbidity Test – equipment and demo
- Reactive Phosphorus Test – equipment and demo
** all testing videos found under the relevant test page within “Let’s Test and Record – Help Me Test Water Science”
Please note we realised that we have not referred to the step of comparing your result to your regional rating chart to see if it rates as excellent, very good, good, etc. This step helps students understand their numerical result and the rating descriptor can be added to the data sheet. Rating charts can be found
here
Enjoy ! We’d love to know what you think of the videos and how you use them. Let us know via the comments . . . .
