LESSON PLAN
Saving water: How much water do we use to wash our hands?
14-18 years English Level: | A2-B1
Science Lab th minimum,
Science, Math, English
Lab coats; pH scale prints; hand soap; 3-5 liters
empty bottles; red cabbage juice (pH indicator); 5
sets of test tubes; 5 petri dishes; 5 dropper
bottles: paper and pencils
We will calculate the amount of water that the
participants in the experiment use to wash their
hands.
1. Read carefully the activity.
2. Create teams in order to organize who is in
charge of the two different experiments (fake and
real).
3, Dress yourselves in lab coats. Look professional!
4, Follow the procedure to calculate the pH of the
participants.
5. Invite the participants to leave the science lab
with their results,
6. Collect the amount of water used to wash their
hands. Write down the number along other data as
gender, age, grade, etc.
7. Analyze the results using charts and graphics.
aLChapter 2- Water CLIL Activity 2: Water consumption activity
& WATER CONSUMPTION ACTIVITY
Action LAB! - How much water do we use to .... ?
(FACE Water is LIFE. Your body is 67% water. Oceans cover 70% of the
Earth's surface and 97% of all water found on Earth is salty. That leaves less
than 3% of fresh water available for our use. So, how much of
this water do we consume for our personal and home use?
Showers: about 76 |
Washing hands or
Bath: about 30 | . 3: face: about 3.8 |
Flushing a toilet: " Cooking a meal:
about 15 liters about 19 liters
Washing dishes), § “Watering your
about 45 liters lawn: over 450 |
Above, you have some facts on how average families use water and, it
seems that we use a lot of water indirectly. So, can we calculate how much
nats water Erasmus+ students use to wash their hands? Let's ACTION
pa > LABL
In order to do our experiment we are going to mislead the participants, so
we created a “fake” experiment about calculating the value of pH in our skin. We
will ask all the participants to clean their hands before we start the process but
what they really don't know is that we will secretly collect the water used from the
sink after they clean their hands. Isr't it a great idea? In that what we will avoid
the effect of them knowing what is going onl!
32Chapter 2~ Water CLIL Activity 2: Water consumption activity
The "Fake" Experiment - What is the pH of your skin?
Liquids all around us have either acidic or basic properties. For example,
acids taste sour: while, bases taste bitter and feel slippery. However,
both strong acids and bases can be very dangerous and burn your skin,
(FAC
so it's important to be very careful when using such chemicals. In order to measure
how acidic or basic a liquid is, one must use the pH scales illustrated below:
pH Scale
Have you ever read, pH balanced on a product and wondered what it meant?
Our skin is naturally designed to fight infections and environmental stresses and
its ability to do so is affected by its pH level. The pH level of the skin
refers to how acidic or alkaline it is. Our skin has a thin, protective layer
on its surface, referred to as the acid mantle, excreted from the
skin's sebaceous glands, which mixes with lactic and amino acids from sweat to
create the skin's pH, which ideally should be slightly acidic - at about 5.5/6.
Many factors can interfere with the delicate balance of the skin's acid mantle,
both externally and internally. Everything that comes in contact with our skin
(products, air, water, sun, pollution) can contribute to break down the acid mantle,
disrupting the skin's ability to protect itself and recently it’s been found that diet
can also play an important role
in determining our internal and external pH levels.

plan?
—~ We will invite the participants to calculate their pH level in their
ski's hand and, before starting the experiment we will ask them to clean their hands
. BUT..
1. How will we collect the water from the sink?
This is EASY, we will collect the water that the participants used by
connecting a 5 liters bottle of empty water to the pipe system under
the sink. Once the water is collected we will use a measuring cylinder to
calculate the amount of water used by
each participant and we will write it down on the specific table chart.
REMEMBER: we will ask each participant for this age, sex, and country of origin
. We want to evaluate if our experiment shows any differences in water
consumption between these three variables analyzed.
2. How will we procedure with the pH experiment?
indicator (colour of the juice varies from dark red to yellow as you
can see in the plastic card provided).
REMEMBER: In order to maximize our time, the red cabbage juice pH indicator
must be prepared in advance,
g In this experiment we will use the juice from red cabbage as a pH
As a fake experiment, we will pretend to test our participants skin but actually
we will test just common household liquids and see how colour change is produced.
Through this colour change, we will be able to identify “falsely” the pH of their skin.
Once our participants finish to clean their hands, we will invite
| Vial] |} them to the lab-bench to analyze their pH.
We will already set a minimum of three test tubes or cups with 3
different household liquids: distilled water (neutral pH); white
vinegar (acidic pH) and bleach+distilled water (basic pH).
34Chapter 2~ Water CLIL Activity 2: Water consumption activity
We will ask the participants to touch a previously prepared
petri dish with some salt or sugar. We will collect a sample
of it and pour it into the test tubes/cups.
With the help of a dropper bottle we will add the juice from
the red cabbage into the three randomly placed tubes/cups and
we will see a change in colour.
We will write down the colour change on the table chart and
compare the colour obtained from a random selected
tube with the plastic card provided.
We will inform them of their pH value according to the colour obtained.
ACTION LAB! Researchers
JOB WELL DONE!
