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.  Air
2.  Oil
3.  pool
4. water

Materials

1.Funnel

2.Container

3.Filter paper

4. sand

5. pebbles 

6. dirty water

7. scissors

8. cup

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

Step 1

Cut the bottle so the bottle is in two even parts and the top half of the bottle can be used as a funnel and the bottom can be used as a container

Step 2

Put the top half of the bottle upside down on top of the bottom piece.

STEP 3

 Make a cone shape out of your filter paper and Add layers of sand inside of that cone and place the cone right way up inside of the funnel

STEP 4

After you have done that add 1 cup of pebbles and pour the pebbles inside the funnel as well then Get 1 cup of dirty water

STEP 5

Pour the dirty water into the funnel slowly and watch what the magic happen

Findings

I found out that if you pour the water fast the water would not really change but if you pour it slowly it would turn out pretty good

Drops per minute: 23
Watercolour: Light brown
Conclusion: I put the dirty water in the bottle and the dirty water is through the rocks sand and the paper, and I wait for 5 minutes and the water is bet clean, but the water now is better but the water looks still not really safe to drink.
