Abstract
This site contains generic instructions for conducting water quality testing. Several different tests are described that can be conducted over short or long periods of time. The site explains how to gather and treat the data and has suggested questions for the students to see if they can properly analyze the data. The objectives are to familiarize students with real-world gathering of scientific data and data-gathering techniques, to give students practice with basic statistical analysis and graphing, and to give them a better idea of the nature of analysis, data collection, interpretation, and presentation.
