Learning Through Exploration and Research

Abstract

Potable water, one of the crucial
natural resources, is becoming increasingly affected by pollution, which is
putting people’s health at risk. As part of the extra-curricular activity
Chemistry Club, we tackled the investigation of water resources in the vicinity
of our school. Research that is integrated into the learning process should
come to resemble real scientific research. Exploration and research provide the
student with an opportunity to form knowledge in an active learning process –
through research work, while they also help us achieve a major contemporary
educational goal, that is the development of natural sciences literacy.  Through research assignment we focused on
brooks and water wells, where we measured chemical attributes of water. With
the help of the colorimetric method we established the concentration of
nitrates, nitrites, ammonium ions and phosphates as well as the pH value. We
found out that chemical water attributes did not exceed the permitted levels
set by regulations for potable water.
