How to Test Water Temperature for Aquatic Species

The video tutorial explains how to test water temperature for aquatic species. It covers the sensitivity of aquatic species to temperature changes, preparation for the test by mounting temperature strips, conducting the test by immersing a jar in water, and recording the temperature. The temperature is measured in degrees Celsius using liquid crystal strips.

Why are aquatic species sensitive to temperature changes?

• Their survival depends on specific temperature ranges.

• They have a high tolerance for temperature variations.

• They prefer colder temperatures only.

• They can adapt to any temperature easily.

What is the first step in preparing the sampling jar?

• Place the jar in the sun.

• Fill the jar with water.

• Shake the jar vigorously.

• Attach temperature strips to the jar.

Where should the sampling jar be held during the temperature test?

• At the bottom of the water body.

• Above the water surface.

• 4 inches below the water surface.

• On the water surface.

How long should the jar remain underwater before recording the temperature?

• 1 minute

• 30 seconds

• 2 minutes

• 5 minutes

In what unit is the temperature displayed on the strips?

• Degrees Celsius

• Rankine

• Degrees Fahrenheit

• Kelvin
