Innovating Science® - Environmental Chemistry: Nitrates, Phosphates, and Eutrophication
$55.00
Chemical products can only be purchased by Corporations and Educational Institutions. Private Individuals are not eligible.
Manufacturer ID - IS9701
Students will learn about acids and bases through a class discussion and then test a dilute acid and dilute base with neutral litmus paper to learn how the paper indicates something is acidic or basic. Once that skill is learned they can move on to test some common items that would be found around their house to determine if they are acids or bases. Optional: Extra litmus paper is included to test more items either from home or around the school building for a greater understanding of acids and bases. The activity contains enough materials for 6 groups of students.
Description
Understand the importance and value of fresh water and the need to protect and conserve this valuable resource. Realize that a variety of factors, including natural ones, contribute to the overall problem of water pollution. After completing this lab, students should understand the difference between point source and non-point source pollution and understand the role of nitrates and phosphates in the process of eutrophication. They will observe and examine the effects of nitrates, the effects of phosphates, and the effects of a combination of nitrates and phosphates in miniature "ponds." Kit contains enough materials for 15 groups. Teacher's Manual and Student Study Guide copymasters are included.
