water infestation

In class we studied water and if anything is inside of the water that is harmful. My group which consisted if Luna Ashlee and I studied TAP WATER and looked to see if LEAD was inside.

My hypothesis was that i thought that the tap water was going to have lead inside because the old lead pipes could have contaminated it with lead. I thought that the lead in the pipes came off and into the water.

Procedure:

1. We took the utensils out of the bag.
2. We poured two drops on into the test tube.
3. Then we put the lead tester into the water and let it sit for 10 minutes
4. Then we took the led tester out of the water sample and checked the results.

The water was not infested with lead which was a relief because that could be harmful to us. Especially to babies because it can give them brain damage.
