Stay Home Water – Week 3
Monday Water Idea – Shower Time Challenge
Age Group: Primary and Secondary
Our Monday idea is to try the Shower Time Challenge. This is where you learn the amount of water used in showers, guess your own shower length and time it, to reveal your water use. Do you think your guess will come close? Who will be the water saving champion in your house?
Tuesday Activity – Water Filter Experiment
Age Group: Primary Junior and Senior, Secondary
How do we ensure the water coming into our taps is clean? Well, one stage of cleaning our water is called filtration. Today’s experiment shows how this works.
Wednesday Water Watch
– Cloud to Glass
Age Group: Primary Junior
Today’s Wednesday Water Watch is about the journey of a water drop to our taps. It looks at how water evaporates to form clouds, travels back down to the ground as rain, and supports all plant and animal life; but before it reaches our taps it has to be cleaned! After watching it you can have fun doing the quiz.
Thursday Activity – Sink The Boat Experiment
Age Group: Primary and Secondary
Why do some objects sink while others float? In this experiment we investigate sinking and floating by building our own tin-foil boats. How much will your boat be able to carry? 😉
Friday Share – Presentation on Plastic and the Ocean
Age Group: Secondary/All
A Green-Schools water ambassador in St. Louis, Dundalk, created a presentation all about plastic and the ocean to raise awareness in her school community. It investigates the process involved in making plastic, how it affects our oceans and what we can do to help. .
