Thank you so much to Liz and the team in Whitewater for covering the costs of getting our water samples tested and the loan of the test equipment to carry out our own chemical analysis in our school laboratory. We really appreciate it!!!!

In these photos we carried out a sensory analysis with some students in our school. We carried out 3 of these experiments. One with Comeragh sport vs. Clonmel mains. The second one was Ballygowan vs. New Castle West mains. The last one was River Rock vs. Belfast mains. A sensory analysis is an experiment where we asked the students to test a cup of water Which was labeled either a square or circle (mains or bottled water) and test it for 6 attributes which were: aroma, metallic taste, smell, chemical taste, clarity, and aftertaste. They tested each type of water separately. We then gathered and compared our results.💦

In these photos we are testing the pH of our 6 different waters - 3 bottled waters: River Rock, Comeragh Sport, Ballygowan. Our 3 mains waters are from: Belfast, Clonmel and New Castle West. To test for the pH of the water we used universal indicator paper and a digital pH meter.
