AB  - Potable water, one of the crucialnatural resources, is becoming increasingly affected by pollution, which isputting people’s health at risk. As part of the extra-curricular activityChemistry Club, we tackled the investigation of water resources in the vicinityof our school. Research that is integrated into the learning process shouldcome to resemble real scientific research. Exploration and research provide thestudent with an opportunity to form knowledge in an active learning process –through research work, while they also help us achieve a major contemporaryeducational goal, that is the development of natural sciences literacy.  Through research assignment we focused onbrooks and water wells, where we measured chemical attributes of water. Withthe help of the colorimetric method we established the concentration ofnitrates, nitrites, ammonium ions and phosphates as well as the pH value. Wefound out that chemical water attributes did not exceed the permitted levelsset by regulations for potable water.
