Global Water Quality

Providing children with eight exciting water experiments, the Global Water Quality science kit from Thames & Kosmos emphasizes the importance of clean water to life on Earth. Not only will kids be able to conduct tests to determine the quality of water, but they also will gain an understanding of the importance of each of these experiments in the real world. Activities in this water testing kit help kids identify how independent variables can affect plant growth while another gives children the knowledge to explain why rain water isn't salty. After completing the unique and fun experiments in this water filter kit, kids will see why so much effort around the world is put into cleaning wastewater.

Before moving into the fascinating world of filtration, the full-color, illustrated instruction manual opens with helpful guidelines parents can use to ensure children are safe and each experiment is conducted properly. While learning about the science field's important role in water quality testing and water filtration, children will create a filter tower that demonstrates how most water filtration systems actually work. Kids will have a first-hand look at how impurities are gradually removed from water by a series of filters that eliminate larger sediment before filtering out the smaller impurities. Throughout the range of experiments in the Global Water Quality water testing kit, children will understand how every living thing on Earth requires clean water as well as what the possible negative effects dirty water can have on life.
