The HI3899BP is a Backpack Lab designed for educators and environmental science students, containing lessons, activities, and test kits that relate to important parameters evaluated in marine science.
The HI3899BP contains test kits for the determination of common parameters in marine science testing: acidity, alkalinity, ammonia, carbon dioxide, dissolved oxygen, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, and salinity. The HI98129 Combo Tester is also included for measurement of pH, conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), and temperature, as well as a secchi disk for monitoring turbidity and a hydrometer for specific gravity.
The HI3899BP Backpack Lab Marine Science Educational Test Kit is a complete classroom laboratory in a backpack. Designed for hands-on marine science education, the kit includes lessons, activities, testing equipment and reagents to help students understand the importance of key physical and chemical parameters in marine environments.
Using titration, colorimetry and direct measurement, students can investigate a wide range of marine science parameters, including acidity, alkalinity, ammonia, carbon dioxide, dissolved oxygen, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, salinity, specific gravity, turbidity, pH, EC, TDS and temperature.
The HI3899BP is supplied with the equipment and reagents required to perform each analysis. Replacement reagents and buffers are also available individually, allowing schools to replenish consumables without purchasing a complete new kit.
Hanna chemical test kits and pocket testers provide teachers with practical tools for introducing important marine science concepts and laboratory techniques. The included teacher's guide contains detailed background information, lesson activities and field-testing procedures that can be adapted for different year levels. Real-world examples also help students understand the importance of nutrients and the physical characteristics of oceans and marine environments.
