Work and more work :)
Today we were able to finalize our materials list for Tech Fest! It's going to be so much fun! Our plan for tech fest is to create three stations for the community to monitor. We are going to have 2 aquariums at each station one that will be a normal environment and the other will be a tank that has experienced a natural disaster. The participants will be testing the pH of each tank, this will let them see that just because you can see a mess does not mean that the waters pH changed, and sometimes you can not see a water change but the pH has changed. For instance you can see the change after a tornado because of all the debris in the water, but the water quality is the same while after a flood the water looks normal but in reality the quality has dropped severely.
