Orange Fizz By Agnes

Today we made Orange Fizz. it was good Experiment (But it tastes weird). But the Experiment was so good. 

Water Care recount

Hook 

“Wow” a lady called Sarah from Water Care came to educate us on the process of water. She showed images of how wastewater was treated in the past. There was a black and white image of  a hotel on Queens Street. There was a river next to the hotel. The guests had bed pans under their beds. The chambermaids were made to carry the bedpans and throw the sewage into the river. 

Sarah showed us manholes. Inside the manhole was where your sewage travelled. Sarah showed us how wastewater is treated. 

The stormwater (outside drains) does not get treated. If chemicals are poured down the outside drains they would go into the ocean and would kill all the fish and plants. That's why it’s important not to use chemicals near the storm water drains.

During the lesson we went outside for an experiment

Sarah divided us into 3 groups. We used black boards, fake rocks and white plastic sheet and watering cans. At first we put the black board on the ground, then we used fake rocks to build a Mountain. After this we put the white sheet on the top. We poured water on top to see how many rivers and streams would be made. We guessed 4 or 5 rivers but there were a lot of rivers and streams.

It was so much fun! I learnt lots of new information. I would hate to be a chambermaid back in the olden days, throwing pees and poops in rivers. I am glad that I am living in the present. I am glad that I am in a country that has safe drinking water. I hope that the water treatment plant continues to operate and that people can save twenty litres of water a day.
