H2S Test, Measure Tank, and Treat Water



This photo show two groups of students, all in the 9th grade, trying to determine the volume (by cubic feet) and content of water tanks on campus. They later converted to gallons in the classroom, thereby determining how much Clorox to mix into a contaminated tank.

The lab is part of the pilot curriculum for Science and Marshallese Language Arts being developed at the Marshall Islands High School. The curriculum has, among other things, contributed to the supply of (previously unavailable) safe drinking water on campus.
