This kit contains everything you need to collect and monitor the pH of rainwater or potentially acidic freshwater sources. Each kit includes enough materials for an entire class—15 sample tubes with caps, 1 pH paper packs with color comparison charts and enough test paper for over 100 determinations. Also included is a vial of MAS Scientific 0–14 pH test paper for testing and comparing the pH values of other liquids. All components are completely portable for use in the field.
