How do we make water clean enough to drink?

Children are presented with a dilemma…how can they make some very dirty, muddy water clean again? Various methods are discussed and then an investigation into filtering methods begins. Time is given to experiment with different filter mediums before a 10 minute challenge starts. They must design their own filter to see how clean they can get their water sample in only 10 minutes. A great fun and messy activity.

Please note that this is a half day experiment and it complements the Water Cycle Game, or the River Idle and Make a River activities.
