Aim: 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.  
2.  
3.  
4. 
   

Materials

1. Plastic bottle

2. Scissors

3. Filter paper

4. Funnel

5. Sand

6. Small Stones

7. Dirty water

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

Step 1

Get a plastic bottle after that cut the bottle.

Step 2

STEP 3

Add layers of sand into the bottom of the cone.

STEP 4

Get 1 cup of dirty water and some little stones.

Findings

Dirty then went clear 

Write a short sentence about the water every 1 minute. 

Include 'How much water has filtered through', 'How fast it is dripping through', and 'How clear the water is'.

Minutes                          1.         2.          3.           4.           5.
Drops per minute: 13
Water colour: Dirty/clear
Conclusion: The water that flowed through the filter was clear with a green tinge. The water flowed at 13 drops per minute. The bark soil leaves sat on top of the pebbles. It was starting to drip a little slow but then it dripped slowly. The water was dirty but after it a little clear.
