Does Living Near the Sea Affect Water Consumption?
Hard
Do you live near the sea? If so, you may be using less water than those who live inland. This science project will investigate whether living near the sea affects water consumption.
Hypothesis
The hypothesis is that people who live near the ocean will consume less water.
Method & Materials
You will survey 50 families that live near the sea and 50 families that live inland. You will analyze the data to determine the average amount of water consumed by each person in the family.
You will need a computer to help analyze the data, a survey form, and permission from your school’s administration to obtain data from the students.
Results
The data gathered suggests that water consumption by residents living near the ocean and away from the ocean is similar. However, the higher the income level of the family, the higher the water consumption.
Why do this project?
This science project is interesting because it investigates how living near the sea affects water consumption. It also looks at how income levels can affect water consumption.
Also Consider
Consider repeating the project by comparing the water consumption of families who live beside a river and those who don’t. Also, try ascertaining the difference in consumption between urban families and rural families.
