DEMONSTRATE THAT ELECTRICITY CAN

TRAVEL THROUGH WATER WHEN ANY

MINERAL IS PRESENT.

A RED LIGHT WILL GO ON TO SHOW

THAT ELECTRICITY TRAVELS THROUGH
WATER WITH MINERALS TO INDICATE
THE PRESENCE OF IMPURITES.

14- THE RED LED LIGHT SHOULD GO
ON

BECAUSE MOST WATER OR LIQUIDS

ARE FORMED BY MIXING MINERALS
AND CHEMICALS THEY WILL ALWAYS
CONDUCT ELECTRICITY.
FOR
WATER
NOT
TO
CONDUCT
ELECTRICITY IT SHOULD BE VERY
PURE. ONLY DISTILLED WATER DOES
NOT
HAVE
ANY
IMPURITIES
OR
MINERALS.
ELECTRICITY CAN HELP US IDENTIFY
HOW SAFE IT IS TO DRINK FROM A
WATER SOURCE.
