Dirty Water experiment

 Our aim was to make a filtration plant using household materials.

Water Filtration Plant

What is filtration?

Filtration is separating solids from liquids by adding a medium through which only the liquid can pass. 

Examples are:

1. Kidney  
2.  plunger
3. jag  
4. swimming pool

Materials

1.sand

2.bottle

3.filter paper

4.stones

scissors

6.water

Process - ( use verbs or doing words in each step )

Step 1

Cut the bottle in half to turn the top part of the bottle into a funnel we also turned the bottom of the bottle into a container

Step 2

Put the funnel into the container.

STEP 3

Add layers of filter paper sand and stones in the funnel 

STEP 4

Get 1 cup of dirty water. 

STEP 5

Pour dirty water into the funnel and let it drip through the filter.

Warning

Make sure that an adult cuts the bottle in half. This water filter is just an experiment and should not be used for drinking water.

Avoid using charcoal briquets, as these can contain chemicals you don't want in your water. Use the activated carbon for water purifiers instead.

Today in science my group and I did the Dirty Water experiment as you can see. In my group there was Hope and Shontelle. It was fun working with them and I am glad to say that we did great. we could have improved a bit anyway it was what it was and that was and opportunity to do something new  

The water was meant to drip through slowly but didn't and I think that is because there wasn't enough stones .
