Questions and Experiences for Experiment 1

Submittion of data for different water sources

2012-03-05T10:32:05Z

Dear TEAM of the Global Water Chemistry Experiment!
We have carried out the pH-measurement for several water sources and would like to submitt these data.
Could you, please, explain how we can add the data for each water source?
We have submitted only one results for our local source, but for the other?
Thank you very much!

Deleting Erroneous Data

2012-01-05T14:11:34Z

We accidentally submitted results 2430 and 2431 with temperature data in degrees Fahrenheit. We resubmitted the results (2432, 2433) with temperatures in Centigrade, so we would like to delete the Fahrenheit data. How can this be done?

Submitting results for multiple schools

2011-12-03T20:28:46Z

Hi:

The University of the West Indies, Mona coordinated this activity in 42 primary schools in Jamaica. I am finding out that I am unable to submit all the results. Will each school have to make their own submission or is there a way to submit the results on behalf of all the schools?

Hi again,

If you go to the registration page at http://water.chemistry2011.org/web/iyc/register,

you will be able to register your school to our database by clicking on the link "register".
And then you will be able to submit your results.

Thank you,

Mathilde

Dear Shashintha,

Thank you very much for your message.
As a student, you can either suggest to your professor to conduct the experiments in class, or conduct them yourself, maybe with a few fellow students.
You can find the protocols in various languages at http://water.chemistry2011.org/web/iyc/experiments, by clicking "read more", depending on the experiment you want to do.

Then you will be able to submit your results to the website, so that they can appear on the maps. You will first have to create an OpenID, and register your school to our database.

If you need help at any stage of this process, do not hesitate to ask other questions in this section.

Thank you for your interest,

Kind regards,

Mathilde

What should be done ?

2011-08-06T10:54:34Z

I am a student and i need to know what i can do to assist you in this Project.

What material do I need for this experiment?

2011-06-20T15:47:11Z

To conduct the experiment on the pH of the planet, you will use:

• 6 sample containers (white or transparent containers to hold 1 cm depth of liquid).
• a dropper or pipette
• a bottle of rinsing water
• bromothymol blue indicator
• m-cresol purple indicator
• colour charts for indicators
• local water sample from local natural water body
Optional
• other water samples
• universal indicator

The activities of the Global Water Experiment are designed to be undertaken with equipment and materials commonly available in a school laboratory. However if preferred, a kit especially designed for carrying out the activities in the Global Water Experiment can be purchased from the Radmaste Centre at the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa: http://www.radmaste.org.za/. Adapted experimental protocols have been developed for these kits to ensure consistency with the Global Water experiment.

The kit is supplied as a school resource with the common equipment and materials to perform the experiments and ten individual sets of equipment for student use (which can also be ordered individually). The price of the kit is about $US165 and does not include postage and packaging. The order form and the up-to-date prices can be found at:

RE: pH- LOCAL WATER

Thanks a lot for your feedback Adriana. I hope you enjoyed the experience as much as your students.
Where did you conducted the experiment? Were the results what you expected?

I hope the positive reaction of your students will encourage you to try another experiment. Maybe the summer will provide the necessary warmth for the Solar Still Challenge!

I wish you a good Year of Chemistry!

pH- LOCAL WATER

2011-04-26T11:42:31Z

My students were very eager, interested and happy to carry out this experiment.

Have started to have students bring in samples from surrounding countryside. (Bendigo Australia.
First 2 samples are from a Farm Dam and a rain water tank supplying potable water to the family. Collected after regional flooding largest in a century.

Have you carried out the experiment on obtaining the pH of water with your students? Share your experience with other teachers here! You can also use this forum to ask for help in carrying out the pH experiment.
