Contamination of Carter Creek Environmental Forensics Kit
Grades 6-12.
The creek near a local paper and plastics business has been polluted, and your students have been hired by a local chemical testing laboratory to find the nature of the contamination and locate its source. This kit teaches chemistry and its relevance to the community by using a clever story line that will interest students. Includes 10 plastic slides, 15 toothpicks (stirrers), two crayons, eight water samples in 3 ml dropper bottles, eight soil samples in 3 ml screwcap tubes, five testing solutions (universal indicator, D Test, Polycrit, LeadStat, and MercuTest). Contains no phthalates, mercury, or lead products or samples. For 24 students working in pairs.
