What's this site all about?
Water
These
web pages are all about water and the activities you, or your students,
can do to find out more about water.

They are aimed at year
9 students (ages 13/14), but can be used with both older and younger
students.
There are
3 different kinds of pages: fact sheets, activities and answers.
There are also science investigation help pages for students and
teachers, which could be used to teach the skills needed for a
successful assessed practical.
The project
is designed to be flexible to your needs. Your students can work
through the whole project, or you can pick individual activities
for them to do. All the pages within the project fit into the UK
national curriculum, but equally could be used by international
educators. In the UK, the entire project could also be used as part
of an enhancement week, outside of the curriculum.
 
The project
could be carried out using a classroom of computers, or web pages
could be downloaded by the teacher and copied for individual students.
The pages
focus on 6 main areas:
- water cycle
- water hardness
- temporary and permanent
hard water
- water pollution
- water testing
- water polarity and
static electricity
