Measure electrolytes of drinks

I think we can use it to find if there is

better alternative to sports drinks and
if water is better than sports drinks,
and if the athletes can have a better
condition her body without using
artificial products

Start
assembling
the
conductance
measuring circuit
by attaching the
battery clip to the 9
V batteries.

Figure 2. This diagram

schematically
shows how the
conductance measuring circuit should be built. Use alligator clips to connect
the multimeter, battery, and conductance sensor. Make sure to connect the
positive (+) terminal of the battery with the positive (+) terminal of the
millimeter.

Plug the multimeter test leads into the multimeter.

Use one of the pairs of alligator clips (any color) to connect the positive (red) wire of the
9 V battery clip to the positive (red) multimeter probe. To do this, clip one of the alligator
clips to the positive (red) wire of the 9 V battery clip, and clip the other end of the pair of
alligator clips to the metal part of the positive (red) multimeter probe.
Make sure to clip the alligator clips to the metal part of both the multimeter probe
and 9 V battery clip. The circuit will not work if
the alligator clips are not connected
to the metal parts of the probe and clips leads because the circuit will not be complete.**
Using the second pair of alligator clips (any color), attach one of the copper wire tails of
the conductance sensor to the negative (black) probe of the multimeter. You can use
either tail of the sensor.
Twist the other wire tail of the conductance sensor around the metal end of the black
lead from the 9 V battery clip as shown
Note that this is an open circuit because of the gap between the wires wrapped around
the non-conducting tube. You will use the electrolytes in the solutions to close the circuit.
The amount of current that flows is proportional to the electrolyte concentration.
Important: never let exposed metal from the red or black multimeter probes/alligator
clips, or the conductance sensor wires, touch each other directly. This will create a short
circuit. Since the circuit contains a 9V battery, this could damage your millimeter by
blowing out the fuse. Always keep the red and black wires a safe distance away from
each other, as shown in Figure 3.

You will also need to gather these items:
Disposable plastic straw
Scissors
Small plastic, glass, or ceramic bowls, not metal (8)
1 Use a different one for each liquid you test or use one bowl
repeatedly being careful to wash and wipe it thoroughly between
liquids.
Masking tape or other materials for creating labels
Permanent pen or marker
Distilled water (dH2O), room temperature; available in the bottled water section of
most grocery stores
Tap water, room temperature
Sports drink(s) of your choice, room temperature
Gatorade (sports drink)

Clean drinking water is vital to life.

In an extended survival situation, you could easily run out of
known clean water that you set aside in your food storage
program.
Having commercial water filters and an external source of water
is a great way to extend your drinkable water supply but it can
get expensive, especially since filters can and will get clogged
quickly if there is sediment in the water you are filtering.

An alternative solution is to learn how to build your own water

filter and stockpile the few simple supplies you need supplies
that can be flushed clean and reused over and over again.
Lets look at what is involved in building your own water filter.

Supplies you will need:

A clean two liter soda bottle or other similar shaped food safe
plastic container.
Cheesecloth or clean cotton
Activated Charcol
Gravel both fine and coarse grains
Sand both fine and coarse grains
A regular paper coffee filter
A catch container for the clean water to drip into.
Steps to build the water filter:
Cut off the bottom of the soda bottle. (This is the wide part, not
the part where you pour soda from.)
Position the soda bottle with the mouth of it in your catch
container. This will give you a stable platform to work with while
you are filling it with the filtration supplies.
Take your clean cotton batting or cheesecloth and stuff it into the
very bottom of the bottle. This will give your water a final stage of
cleaning AND it will prevent the other materials from falling out of
the soda bottle into your catch container.
Layer the filter materials into the bottle, one on top of the other
in thin layers in this order.
1 Activated Charcol
2 Fine Grain Sand
3 Coarse Grain Sand
4 Fine Grain Gravel
5 Coarse Grain Gravel
Repeat this process until you have filled the soda bottle almost to
the point where you cut the bottom off. (The bottle should have
several sets of thin layers of filter material at this point.)

Place the coffee filter on top of the layers and add water. The
filter will work to remove the sediments and other harmful
materials and give you clean water in your catch basin.

Hi my name is Bruno Cesar Rodriguez Galvan and I am a 9 th grade

student from Instituto Anglo Britnico. This year, my Design teacher asked us to
look for a problem and identify it in our community, such as at school, at home or
anywhere else. Then, I started my research and I found that the contaminated
water thee is an important problem, even though we have worked to solve it in
some technology fairs.
I found a very common problem
contamination of water and these
problem most affect more in poor cities
just like Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Haiti,
India were people dont have access
to clean water to any place
These problem is common in
these poor countries is not only
passing there In Mexico must of the
states these because of the abusive companies that use rivers and lakes to
throw their trash and their waist
