Filteration | Home Chemistry

For science today, we are looking about filtration. We had to make dirty water into clean water. I was in a group with Christian.

Aim: To make a filtration plant using household materials.

Water Filtration Plant

Four types of filters

1. Pool
2. Air
3. Oil
4. Kettle

What is Filtration:

According to Google Definition, filtration means - the action or process of filtering something.

Materials:

1. Water bottle/containers
2. Filter Paper - fold in half then into quarters
3. Funnel
4. Sand
5. Pebbles
6. Scissors
7. Dirty Water
8. 
   

Process:

1. Collect a bottle and cut it with scissors. 
2. Fold the filter paper to make a cone. 
3. Put the sand in the cone.
4. Put the cone with sand to the pop bottle - top. 
5. Put the pop bottle - top to the other cut out of the bottle.
6. Put pebbles on top of the cone.
7. Pour one cup of dirty water on top of the pebbles.
8. Watch the dirty water turn into clear water.

Conclusion:

The water that flowed through the filter was;

The water was clear with a green tinge. The water flowed about 60 drops per minute. (1 drop = 1 second) There were bark, dirt, leaves and more other dirty things that stayed on top of the pebbles. Our water was almost clear. After 40 minutes, the water gradually slowed down and there were 40 drops per minute. After 1 hour, the drops slowly went to 9 drops per minute.
