Water Flow and PressureIn small groups complete these simple experiments to illustrate waterflow and pressure.Water Flow Measurement…Turn on a tap to see how long it takes to fill up a bucket. This will depend on how fast thetap is turned on – if turned on full it will take 10 – 15 seconds to fill up a 9 litre bucket.Estimate how many buckets of water would come out of the tap in 1 minute, 3 minutes and 10minutes.Water Pressure…Pressure is the force that pushes water through pipes. Water pressure determines the flowof water from the tap.You will need:♦ Plastic container♦ Ruler or tape measure♦ Bucket♦ Hose connect to water supplyAction:♦ Make a hole 3cm from the base of the container.♦ Place the plastic container on the upturned bucket on the grass♦ Turn the hose on and continually fill the container♦ Measure the distance the water spurts from the container♦ Turn the hose off and make 2 additional holes in the container, level with the first hole.♦ Repeat the filling and measuring exerciseObserve and record:♦ Discuss the results♦ What is the difference in distances with one hole then three holes?♦ How does it relate to the pressure in your taps?.18
Water Quality: Health and HomesVisit a river, waterway or wetlands and discover how healthy and unpolluted it is. Yourselected location should also have a diversity of animal life. This is a sign of a healthy waterenvironment.Observe and record any animal life near, in or on the water’s edge. Select one particularanimal life and find out as much information while on site concerning this animal. Includelocality, environment, climate, food, human involvement and overall health in yourobservations.Returning to the classroom discuss your findings. Additional research is required on theanimal you’ve selected and conclude if this particular water location is healthy for the animaland if not, why?19
