Science: Filtration investigation

Various filter designs

As part of our ongoing study of water, watersheds, and water quality, we began a discussion today about water filtration.


We began with a reading to build some background knowledge, making note of (and discussing) terms that were unfamiliar to the class.

Then, students were tasked with creating two different designs for potential water filters, given a list of materials and their costs. Their budget was $8.00 per filter.



The groups set to work, brainstorming ideas and crafting designs.






The next step will be to present their designs to the class to get feedback.
