Salty Waters

This activity is part of a set of 4 activities for high school students concerning the chemistry of water. These activities were first developed by IUPAC and UNESCO in 2011 in the framework of the international year of chemistry. The following activity focuses on the use of the chemistry kit that has been distributed to the participant schools, in order to measure the salinity of fresh seawater. Students will work on basic chemical procedures and measurements in a hands on approach using both hands on and virtual experimentation.
