Welcome to What If We All Care GLPThis project is about how together we can contribute to achieving accessibility to clean water in the whole world by 2030 (UN Sustainable Development goal #6). Students will do laboratory measurement on the pH of a water sample, discuss possible causes of a fall in water quality (emphasis on deviation in pH from the norm) and suggest solutions. Students will have a student connect page to interact and classrooms will have a collaboration page to share their work.

Why Join?Water is a necessity for life but unfortunately, not everyone has access to clean water. The choice of this topic is principally motivated by my personal experience and the observations I made by traveling to other parts of the world and meeting people who are by far less privileged than many, and do not have access to clean water.
Also, I grew up in Cameroon, Africa and most of the population have difficulty accessing clean water and mostly depend on water from springs, wells, and, rivers for survival. Maintaining the cleanliness of these water bodies is a topic of national and global concern. It is a collective responsibility to maintain or improve the quality of the water bodies around us! This project seeks to expose the students to this learning or experience. Every person has an experience and joining this project gives your students the opportunity to share their experience and collaborate with other students. This project covers a number of science and English language standards. |
Who Can Take Part?This project will mostly benefit 8th to 12th grade students in a physical science or environmental science classes (Ages 13-18).
