Want to do a science fair project related to water quality? We can help! Below are
links to different experiment ideas that are about water quality. Even though these
ideas are grouped by grade, easier experiments can be expanded and difficult experiments
can be simplified. Don't let your age limit which experiment is a good fit for you!
Some of the experiments require scientific equipment like dissolved oxygen or nitrogen kits. Our main office in Logan or many of the extension offices throughout the state have equipment that you can check out. We will also help answer any questions you have. Good luck!
