Explora Homeschool Science Club~Water Testing

John took Jackson & Jeremiah to their Explora class on Monday. I was still recovering from a nasty flu virus. Jax and Jem said they were very interested in the water testing experiments and wanted to come home and test our water, the Corrales water (they think it smells bad), and the Rio Grande River water.

The Class was called:
Water on the Move (Grades 3-5)
How does water move through the soil? Students designed, built and tested aquifer models to track contaminants, water tables and well levels. They also experimented with a variety of filtering materials and tested their water samples before and after for turbidity, hardness and pH.

Here are the charts, with test strips attached, that Jackson & Jeremiah completed. They said they both liked recording and seeing the actual number results of the different water samples.
