This month we have another dirty water science experiment. Our goal is to test different types of homemade water filters. Imagine if you had a natural disaster that compromised the local water supply. This is a real possibility for many people who live in hurricane and storm-prone areas. In such an emergency, your only source […]
A quick search online for “best healthy water” is likely to return millions of results, one of which is sure to be alkaline water. Maybe you’ve heard that it helps your digestion or that it can improve muscle recovery. Some even claim that it prevents aging and can reduce blood pressure, prevent cancer, and help […]
This months science project celebrates fall and the cooler weather. As the seasons change, we find ourselves admiring the brightly colored leaves. For today’s project, we decided to see how different leaves would impact our water samples. Our hypothesis was that different leaves would have different chemical and mineral qualities that would change the composition of […]
With a toddler, it can seem like there’s an endless list of things to worry about. We worry about whether they are eating enough nutritious foods or do they know not to talk to strangers. One of the concerns that isn’t usually at the top of that list is if your toddler is getting enough […]
I think the part kids enjoy most about this project is getting to pick out which fishy water they’re going to test. We took a trip to our local pet store and asked if we could take a few samples from their fish tanks for an experiment. They were very helpful and explained some of the […]
Every once in a while, you may turn on your tap and notice that your water has a strange, off-putting sulfur smell. This is one of the most common odors that water can have. If you don’t know what sulfur smells like, it is usually described as similar to the smell of rotten eggs. The […]
Have you ever reached for a glass of water or turned on a water fountain, only to see a stream of brown water flowing out of the tap? Whether your water comes from a municipal source or a private well, no one wants to drink brown water that looks dirty and unhealthy. Not only should […]
Have you ever gone to the sink to fill a glass with water, but what comes out of the tap is something milky and cloudy, far from the clear water you were expecting? With all of the current concerns about water quality, cloudy water may cause you to dump out that glass and grab some […]
If your kids don’t mind a little dirt, they’re sure to enjoy this easy to perform science project testing dirty water. The first step is easy. Send the kids outside to collect three different dirt samples. Maybe scoop up some dirt from a potted plant or a garden area. Dig up a little bit of […]
People who get their water from a public water source have groups like the EPA helping to ensure their water quality. Unfortunately, those who use well water do not have anyone monitoring what is in their water. If your drinking water comes from a well, you need to take measures like performing a regular well […]
