The Water Cycle

Students use a turbidity sensor, a conductivity sensor, and a condenser to explore how energy drives the movement and purification of water through Earth’s systems.

Supports NGSS Performance Expectation HS-ESS2-2: Analyze geoscience data to make the claim that one change to Earth’s surface can create feedbacks that cause changes to other Earth’s systems.

Featured Equipment

Cuvettes and Caps

Cuvettes and Caps

Replacement Polystyrene Cuvettes and Caps for the PASCO Wireless Spectrometer.

Condenser

Condenser

Designed to cool the vapors from a liquid sample that is being heated (distilled), and capture the condensation.

Colorimeter and Turbidity

Wireless Colorimeter & Turbidity Sensor

This sensor can function as a turbidimeter or colorimeter and is capable of measuring absorbance and transmittance at six different wavelengths.

Wireless Conductivity Sensor

Wireless Conductivity Sensor

This waterproof sensor connects via Bluetooth® to measure both conductivity (ionic content in solution) and total dissolved solids.

100 NTU Calibration Standard

100 NTU Calibration Standard

Replacement calibration standard for PASPORT Turbidity Sensor (PS-2122).

Support
