Clean Water Filtration
Medium
In this project, you'll explore the techniques used to filter water and gain an appreciation of the need to keep our water supplies clean.
Hypothesis
The hypothesis is that water can be effectively filtered to keep it clean.
Method & Materials
You will see the techniques that are used to filter our water, gain an idea as to various pollutants which can contaminate our water, and filter water at their desks.
You will need a large filtering tube, a large glass fish tank or jar, a bag of charcoal pebbles, sand, and gravel, micropore filter paper, petri dishes, chlorine, and a strainer.
Results
Through this project, students will gain an understanding of the importance of keeping our water supplies clean and the techniques used to filter water. They will also observe how different materials can be used to filter out pollutants.
Why do this project?
This science project is interesting and unique because it allows students to gain hands-on experience with water filtration and understand the importance of keeping our water clean.
Also Consider
Experiment variations to consider include testing different types of filtration materials and testing different types of pollutants.
