WAKEFIELD WHERE GIRLS HAVE SPARK

National Coal Mining Museum

Over the 25th and 28th of June, all of Year 9 attended the National Coal Mining Museum to learn about potable water. To start off the day we travelled down the mines with a guide who had previously worked down the mine. This gave us a great insight into how conditions were down the mine. We were all shocked to find out how terrible the conditions were especially for children and ponies some of which never made it out. Travelling through the mine we saw a variety of equipment which was used in the mine and also saw how the equipment evolved. After a sing-a-long travelling up the lift we moved to a classroom to learn about filtering water. As the mine still pollutes water, the staff had to put things in place to filter water and make it potable. After receiving information about potable water we travelled outside to measure the levels of chemicals in the water. We travelled along the whole process of filtering water taking in data as we went.Once receiving all our data we tested it to find out whether the levels at the end of the filtering process were low enough for it to be potable which they were. This concluded our trip to the mining museum. We would like to thank all the staff who made the trip possible as we all enjoyed it and it really enhanced our learning of the topic of potable water.
