    Build your own water

    filtration
    Fresh water is essential for life. However, it sometimes contains some insoluble

    substances (impurities) that need to be removed before we use it. Water filtration is the

    process used to remove these insoluble substances. How do we do that?

    Materials:

    Dirty water
    1 plastic bottle
    Cotton
    Gravel
    Pebbles
    • Sand
    Charcoal
    Scissors

    Steps:

    Cut an empty bottle into half


    Place the bottle upside down, and put 8-10 pieces of cotton
    Add a layer of gravel on top of the cotton
    Add a layer of sand on top of the gravel
    Add a layer of charcoal on top of the sand
    Add a layer of pebbles on top of the charcoal
    • Add a layer of sand on top of the pebbles
    Add 8-10 pieces of cotton on top of the sand
    Slowly pour the dirty water
    Wait for the water to pass through
    Observe the appearance and the smell of the filtered water and compare it to the original
    dirty water
