Hello my name is Sharren.It is my first time being in E_tasc and i really like it because we get to learn new and interesting things.This is an experiment we have done last week. We tasted how salty the water in The Murray River and it was really salty.When I tasted the water i felt surprised and i really wanted to help clean up the river. It is a threat to plants and animals because the water is to salty for them to drink or grow in.



To taste water of known salinity concentrations and compare them to known salinity levels of the sea and Murray River.

I think the sea water will taste the saltiest. · 5 litres of water · 5 one litre containers · Salt · Measuring cone marked on side at 1.2cm, 2.3cm, 3.4cm, 7.5cm and 11.7cm. · Plastic spoons 1. Measure 1.2cm of salt into the cone. 2. Pour salt into prepared 1 litre container. 3. Repeat steps one and two for the remaining 4 measurements. 4. Wait for salt to dissolve in water. 5. Use a disposable spoon to taste the water from each container. (New spoon for each tasting.) I found out that the water from the Murray River is MUCH saltier than the sea water. It was nearly double the salt.
