Hurumanu - Dirty Water experiment

Aim: To make a filtration plant using household materials.

Water Filtration Plant

What is the filtration?

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

Examples are:

1.  Water Filter
2.  Air Filter
3.  Pool Filter
4. Oil Filter

Materials

1. Funnel

2. Container

3. Filter Paper

4. Scissors

5. Stones

6. Sand

7. Cup

8. Dirty Water

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

Step 1

Cut the bottle so you have can use the top as a 'funnel' and the bottom as a 'cup'.

Step 2

Put the top half upside down so you can put the funnel paper (shaped like a cone) in the top.

STEP 3

Add layers of sand and stones to help keep the dirt out of the water.

STEP 4

Get 1 cup of dirty water to help you complete your experiment.

STEP 5

Pour the dirty water into the stones and sand and watch it fall down into cleaner water.

Findings

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'.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the experiment works to a certain extent. Sure it makes the water clear but I would not like to drink it because it has some color still in it and the look from the start makes it unappealing.
