Water chemistry online - Stage 6 Chemistry resources
What is Water chemistry online?
Looking for inspiration for a Depth Study? Water chemistry online gives you ideas, learning tools and resources to explore how we apply real world science.
Choose from three Stage 6 Chemistry Depth Study investigations looking at:
1. Drinking Water Depth Study - explore pH, buffers and chemical techniques we use to ensure drinking water quality and protect public health.
2. Wastewater Depth Study - explore separation techniques used in treating wastewater, as well as the need for chemical monitoring to protect the environment.
3. Recycled Water Depth Study - explore different types of polymers and how we use them in flocculation, dewatering and membranes contributing to sustainable environments and livable cities.
