The GLOBAL WATER EXPERIMENT has ended. The Global Water Experiment (GWE) was formally closed in Marseille, during the Sixth World Water Forum, which took place from 12 - 17 March 2012. Schools and individuals were able to continue with the four activities of the GWE and upload their results onto the IYC water website until 31 March 2012. IUPAC and UNESCO have thanked all the teachers and students who contributed so enthusiastically to the GWE. Altogether there were 2 354 teachers and 128 330 students who participated in the Global Experiment. Please visit http://water.chemistry2011.org/web/iyc to see the Global Visualisation Map where IUPAC has made it possible to explore all the data collected and compare world-wide results.
Although the GWE has ended, IUPAC and UNESCO have encouraged
schools to extend the reach of the GWE by downloading the four
experiment protocols and conducting the water quality and water
purification activities (pH, salinity, filtration and solar
still). So too, RADMASTE invites all users of the microscale
water kits to carry out the four small-scale activities of the
Global Water Experiment. For this reason, we will continue to
keep the experiment protocols on this page for the immediate
future. Click on the images below to download the
activities you need. |

The Four Microscale Activities of the IYC Global Water Experiment FULL VERSIONS OF THE ACTIVITIES
ABRIDGED VERSIONS OF THE ACTIVITIES The abridged versions of the activities consist of an A4 booklet for teachers and an A5 booklet for learners. These booklets are ideal for use in the classroom and out in the field. Click on the images below to access the documents.
NOTE: The South African Grade 10 CAPS for Physical Sciences includes a Chemistry Project on the Quality and Purification of Water. Schools that already have the microscale Global Water Kits can use these together with the activities above, to complete this chemistry project. The microscale activities are also available in French, Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic. Should anyone require these, please email your request to beverly.bell@wits.ac.za
