G.O Uses of H2O

on jueves, 29 de abril de 2010

This are our G.O about uses of H2o:

















People use H2o in many ways such as in agricultural,industrial,household, recreational and environmental activities. This ways people uses water requiere on fresh water.
Fresh water is a renewable resources like soil and air, water is the most critical resources in the world

This is Valeria's Main map about How do people use water resources:

Volume and Capacity

What is volume or capacity? In math, capacity is the amount a container will hold when full

Capacity is generally measured in milliliters, liters, or kiloliters.

container-image
If the length, width, and height of this three-dimensional container, measures 5 cm, 10 cm, and 20 cm respectively, the volume is 5 cm × 10 cm × 20 cm = 1000 cm3

By definition, 1000 cm3 = 1 liter

So, the container above has a volume or capacity of 1 liter. This container is grossly or approximately the same size and has the same capacity as a
large bottle of soda

Milli is a prefix which refers to a division by 1000 or a multiplication by 0.001.

So, 1 milliliter = 1 liter/1000 = 1000 cm3/1000 = 1 cm3


1 milliliter is grossly the dimension of a container with length, width, and height of 1 cm, 1 cm, and 1 cm respectively since 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm = 1 cm3

In real life this could be compared to the capacity of a dose of medicine

Kilo is prefix which refers to a multiplication by 1000, so 1 kiloliter = 1 liter × 1000 = 1000 liters


1 kiloliter is approximately the capacity of a king-size water bed

As you may have noticed, kiloliters are used to measure huge quantity.


To discover Volume measurements we can use different equipment to measure capacity like:

  • Measuring jug:
  • Measuring spoons:

  • Beakers:


  • Measuring cylinders:




Define: Volume,Capacity and Cube

This are the definitions of how we can measure H2O:

  • Volume:The volume of a solid is the amount of space it occupies.
  • Capacity: Capacity is the amount of liquid a container can hold when it is full.


  • Cube: A cube is a solid with 6 square faces and 12 equal edges.

Volume of cube = 4 x 4 x 4
= 64 cm3

This are some videos about some tips to take care of H2O:

Experience in quantity of H2O

Phase 2:

1. Experiment:


As we do the experiment of how many water we use in 30 seconds we conclude that in that time we spend 4600 ml and x 2 = to 9200 ml in 30 seconds with the sink opened.
Answer: So in 1 Minuted we spend 9200 ml of water.

a) What is measure of the water flow?

The measure of the water flow is of 4.600 ml,but we multiply it by 2 because 30*2=60 secons that means the amount of water we waste in one minute,so 4.600*2=

b) How much time do you spend taking a shower?

Natalia's answer: I spend 7 minutes taking a shower.
Valeria's answer: I spend 15 minutes taking a shower.

c) How many times do you do that? (take a shower)

Natalia's answer: I take a shower 2 times in a day.
Valeria's answer:
I take a shower 2 times a day.

d) How many times in a week do you take a shower?

Natalia's answer:
I take 12 times a shower in a week
Valeria's answer: I take 12 times a shower in a hole week.

This are some pictures showing how we use water in our houses:

  • In the sink:


  • Taking a shower:

  • Using the toilet:


  • Dishwasher:







How Do People Use Water "Prior Knowledge"

This are our prior knowledge of how do people use H2O:



Quantity of H2O



Phase 2:

a)How many times do you flush the toilet in 24 hours?

Valeria´s answer: I flush the toilet 4 times in 24 hours

Natalia´s answer:I flush the toilet 5 times in 24 hours

b)How long does it take to brush your teeth?how much water you spend?

Valeria´s answer: I spend 7 minutes brushing my teeth,and i spend 500 mililiters of water brushing them.

Natalia´s answer: I spend 8 minutes brushing my teeth and i spend 600 mililiters of H2O brushing it.


c)How many times a day do you brush your teeth?

Valeria´s answer: I brush my teeth 2 times on a day.
Natalia´s answer: I brush my teet 4 times on a day.


d)How long does it take to wash your hands ?how much water do you spend?

Valeria´s answer:For washing me hands and spend 2 minutes and i use the amount of water of 400 mililiters.
Natalia´s answer: I spend 1minute washing my hands and i spend the amount of water of 500 mililiters.

297.836 valeria's amount of spend water in a day in gallons.
  • Natalia spend 3761.4 liters on one day.
Natalia spend 827.508 gallons of water ina day.

2.How much water do you spedn in one month?

  • Valeria spend 40614 liters in one month and in gallons i spend 8935.08 in 30 days.
  • Natalia spend 112842 liters in one month
and i spend 24825,24 gallons in 30 days.
