Silver award: comparing oral re-hydration therapies
In this independent research project students research the causes and consequences of diarrhoea and dehydration. They find out about the different treatments available for dehydration and design some experiments to compare commercial and homemade oral rehydration salts.
Students compare the glucose and salt content of commercially available oral re-hydration salts, such as Diarolyte, and compare them with the homemade formula recommended by the World Health Organisation.
