Operation Water Drop Teacher Suggestions, written by Tracy Webb, Member of the SDWF Board of Directors and high school science teacher at Horton High School in Wolfville, NS
Please note: We have removed the heterotrophic plate count test from the elementary operation water drop kits because of concerns elementary teachers had regarding agar in their classrooms. To replace this test we have added not one but two new tests into the elementary Operation Water Drop kits, ammonia analysis and copper analysis. If anyone has any questions about these tests they can contact 306-934-0389 and/or info@safewater.org
