Investigate: Water
Write the results of your ”investigation” in your Homework Book. Don’t forget to write A, B, and C in your book, followed by your answers , so that it is easy for your teacher to read. |
A) Do one or more of the following investigations:
1) Do you have a bathtub/shower combo?
On one day during the week, take a ”normal” bath and see how far up on the side of the bathtub the water reaches.
On another day take a ”normal” shower with the bathtub prop in. Note if the water is higher or lower than when you took a bath.
Which used more water, the shower or bath?
2) Do you or your family let the water run down the drain when you wait for it to be the right temperature when washing dishes, taking a glass of cold water, brushing teeth, or showering?
Take one of the activities above (washing dishes, taking a glass of cold water, brushing teeth, showering, or other) and place a bucket or container under the faucet until the water is the right temperature.
Afterwards, use an old 1 liter milk carton or marked pitcher to measure how much water is in the bucket or container.
How much water was used while waiting for the water to reach the right temperature?
3) Time everyone in your family, including yourself, when taking a ”normal” shower. How long does it take? Make a list with the time. Instead of writing names, you can write Person 1, Person 2, etc.
