1.Your Secchi disk apparatus is similar to the picture at right. Take the ruler from your cabinet and measure the length of loose string attached to the Secchi disk. Record your measurements on your activity worksheet. The apparatus should look like the picture labeled “Figure 1.” 2.Pull the string until the disk comes to the top of the water column. 3.Lower the disk into the water until it disappears. After it disappears, pull up on the string until it is just slightly visible. Hold the string here and have your partner measure the loose length now. Record the second loose length on your worksheet now. The apparatus should look something like Figure 2. 4.On your worksheet there is a section for you to calculate the visibility in the water column. Do this now. 5.You can see in the picture labeled “figure 3” that visibility in water is affected by what is in the water. Take a moment to look back at your activity worksheet to find some things that affect visibility in water. 6.Once you are finished calculating the visibility using the Secchi disk you may return to your workstation and proceed with your instruction cards. Figure 3. Figure 1.Figure 2. The diagram shows how far light can travel through pure water. The water sample in the Secchi disk apparatus in the lab is obviously not pure water. This diagram is only meant to illustrate how far light can travel through pure water. Your sample has a certain degree of “Turbidity,” or cloudiness in the water.
