Bring Quantitative STEM to Life with Real-World Water Quality Testing
Early exposure to key STEM skills like data quantification is important for building science literacy and preparing the next generation of innovators. Yet, integrating quantitative analysis into biology classrooms has been a challenge due to limited resources developed for educators. Our new hands-on kits use PCR, qPCR, and colorimetry to bridge that gap. We have transformed traditional biology experiments into powerful, data-driven investigations. Developed with classroom safety and usability in mind, these water quality testing kits meet a growing demand for quantitative experiments for STEM education.

From Field to Flask: Investigating Nitrogen’s Impact on Waterways
Nitrogen is essential for all life on Earth – it’s a key part of DNA, proteins, and the food we eat. In this experiment, students will explore sources of nitrogen in our environment by testing samples for nitrates and nitrites using the Griess reagent. Students will create a standard curve to calculate the concentrations of samples with unknown amounts of nitrate and nitrite.
