Water Quality
Cover the fundamentals of water quality testing, including dissolved oxygen, BOD, flow rate, turbidity, nitrates, and more, with Vernier technology.
Water Quality Testing Involves Students in Real‑World Applications
With Vernier sensors, students can explore the water quality of different sources, from a local stream to their classroom aquarium. Students can use the data they collect to track patterns, make predictions, and suggest changes to improve the ecosystem’s overall health.
Test Common Water Quality Factors with Go Direct Sensors
Learn 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.
Featured Products for Water Quality
Go Direct Turbidity
Monitor the turbidity of fresh‑water or seawater samples in NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units, the standard unit used by most water collection agencies and organizations). Its small, sleek design and simple setup makes the Go Direct Turbidity Sensor easy to use at a collection site.
Go Direct Optical Dissolved Oxygen
Measure dissolved oxygen, water temperature, and atmospheric pressure. The Go Direct Optical Dissolved Oxygen Probe is perfect for the field or for the laboratory, this probe requires no calibration, no filling solution, no warm‑up time, and no stirring.
Go Direct pH
Test the pH and alkalinity of bodies of water. The Go Direct pH Sensor is a general‑purpose pH sensor used to monitor pH of aqueous solutions.
Go Direct Conductivity
Go Direct Conductivity features automatic temperature compensation allows students to calibrate the probe in the lab and then make measurements outdoors without temperature changes affecting data.
LabQuest 3
LabQuest® 3 is a powerful, advanced, easy‑to‑navigate, and versatile data‑logging solution for STEM students. The built‑in data‑collection and analysis app works with all Vernier sensors, supporting hands-on data collection in the classroom, in the lab, and in the field.
Investigating Aquatic Life: A Ready‑to‑Use Experiment on Dissolved Oxygen
Help students understand exactly what dissolved oxygen is and how it impacts waterways. In this hands‑on investigation, students will use the Go Direct Optical Dissolved Oxygen Probe to determine the effect of temperature on the amount of dissolved oxygen in water and predict the effect of water temperature on aquatic life.
