to inform you on how very concerned we are about the ownership of water and how it is affecting us all.

Measurements of urine volume‚ specific gravity and chloride concentrations were recorded in order to investigate this. Our hypothesis stated that the volume of urine would increase for all groups other than the group drinking 80 ml of water along with taking a 7g. This portion of the hypothesis

My Science Project Can water float on water? My Prediction I predict that water can’t float on top of water. Simply because it sounds impossible‚ but it will be interesting to find out if however it is possible. The Experiment First‚ I found two 1litre bottles and marked one with ‘+ salt’ and the other with ‘fresh’. I then went on to add red food colouring to the fresh bottle and yellow to the + salt bottle. The reason for doing so was to establish which ones were which and see if they
