Using Daphnia to Monitor Water Toxicity
I was wondering if anyone could tell me exactly how much water or how much sediment to use in step 7?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Using Daphnia to Monitor Water Toxicity
what are you referring to when you said "step 7"?

Under experimental procedure, towards the bottom, there is a #7.

Re: Using Daphnia to Monitor Water Toxicity
I believe the student is referring to: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... ?from=Home. It this is right, the idea is to use different amounts of both. I would probably only use 1-10g of sediment in half a liter or so of water...but I'm just guessing. Try that and see if it really does look like runoff from a storm; if it's too murky or not murky enough, add more sediment or water.
