[Image changes to show a view of a female, and other students lowering a secchi disk on a rope over the side of the jetty, and text appears: Test 02, Water Clarity]

 

[Image changes to show a close view of a secchi disk coiled in rope on the jetty, and text appears: Using your secchi disk we can measure the water clarity]

 

[Image changes to show a secchi disk on the jetty, and the rope attached can be seen stretching along the jetty, and text appears: Estimate the water clarity distance from your site, Place three pegs at the approximate depth from where the disk will disappear]

 

[Image changes to show a close view of a female picking up the secchi disk on the rope]

 

[Image changes to show the female lowering the secchi disk into the water on a rope, and text appears: Slowly lower the secchi disk into the water whilst maintaining site]

[Image changes to show a female feeding the rope attached to the secchi disk through her hands and looking over the side of the jetty, and text appears: Keep your eye on which peg is closest to the water]

 

[Image changes to show the rope attached to the secchi disk in the water and the secchi disk below the surface, and text appears: When you first lose sight of the secchi disk, note which peg is closest to the water surface, You may need to repeat these steps until a peg sits level with the water surface]

 

[Image changes to show the female pulling up the rope attached to the secchi disk]

 

[Image changes to show the female placing the secchi disk on the jetty and then laying the rope out behind it, and text appears: The measurement from your disk to the peg is your water clarity]

 

[Image changes to show a close view of the students measuring the rope up to the peg]

 

[Image changes to show two females looking at the Smart device and making entries, and text appears: Make sure to enter your findings into the app!]

[Image changes to show a rear view of a teacher and students walking out onto a jetty, and text appears: What we are measuring, pH levels, Temperature, Dissolved oxygen]

 

[Image changes to show a close rear view of the teacher and students walking out on the jetty]

 

[Image changes to show students lowering buckets of water over the edge of the jetty on a rope, and text appears: Begin by collecting your bucket of water]

 

[Image changes to show a view looking down at the bucket attached to the rope floating in the water, and then the image changes to show the students lifting the bucket back up onto the jetty]

 

[Image changes to show a hand holding a probe and the image shows the cap being removed from the probe, and text appears: Remove the cap off your pH & temperature probe and switch it on]

 

[Image changes to show a hand placing the probe into the bucket of water on the jetty, and text appears: Place the probe into the bucket making sure the end probes are submerged in the water]

 

[Image changes to show a student placing a probe into the bucket]

 

[Image changes to show a female squatting down on the jetty and entering data onto a Smart device, and text appears: Record your pH and temperature levels into the app]

 

[Image changes to show the female watching one of the students entering data on the Smart device]

 

[Image changes to show a view of the students on the jetty]

 

[Image changes to show a view looking back towards the shore from the jetty]

 

[Image changes to show a female looking at a Dissolved Oxygenmeter, and text appears: Measuring Dissolved Oxygen]

 

[Image changes to show the female placing a probe into a bucket on the jetty and looking at the Dissolved Oxygenmeter, and text appears: Switch on the device and place the probe within the water]

 

[Image changes to show a close view of the probe being stirred around in the bucket, and text appears: Slowly stir the water returning to a still motion]

 

[Image changes to show a close view of “5.13 ppm” on the display screen of the Dissolved Oxygenmeter, and text appears: You should now have a successful reading]

 

[Image changes to show a close view of the female making notes in a notebook, and text appears: Convert your reading to the correct unit to enter into the app]
