Episode 8 of the Uisce Matters Podcast
Uisce Matters: Water – Molecule to Ocean | Science Week Special
How do you filter out fish poo? Why can’t we drink seawater? And where does water go when we flush the toilet?
Children ask brilliant questions, including the ones grown-ups might never think to ask. For this special Science Week episode of Uisce Matters, children and young people from around Ireland have sent in their questions, with Breda Dreaper, National Laboratory Manager at Uisce Éireann, joining host Orlaith Blaney to answer them.
From the tiny world hiding in a glass of water to the helpful bugs that clean wastewater, we follow water’s journey to our taps and back to nature. Along the way, we discover how science helps keep our water safe and why every drop deserves a little care.
Bring your curiosity and the curious minds in your family. You’re never too young, or too old, to ask a good question.
