Introduction to Water Quality Testing with Vernier

Vernier Biology expert Colleen McDaniel and Chemistry expert Dr. Melissa Hill demonstrate how students can use Go Direct® sensors to investigate the following common water quality factors-dissolved oxygen, pH, and conductivity. Using these sensors, students can collect data from various water sources, analyze the results, and propose solutions to enhance ecosystem health.
Key Takeaways:
• Techniques for integrating water quality testing into your curriculum ahead of teaching chemical properties of water, water pollution, watershed characteristics, and ecological parameters
• How to prepare for going into the field, and how to do water quality testing if you don’t have access to a body of water
• Best practices for using the Go Direct Optical Dissolved Oxygen Probe, Go Direct pH Sensor, and Go Direct Conductivity Probe to measure water quality parameters
• Strategies for using Vernier Graphical Analysis® to help students visualize and interpret data as well as to connect abstract scientific ideas to real-world applications
