Water Filtration Science

We close out every school year with a hands-on exploration of Earth Science. No different this year, we decided to expand our focus to include our younger scientists in exploring water pollution and filtration. How do we clean water? We answered this question through a hands-on exploration with our K-5 science groups.

We learned about turbidity, then worked in teams to explore out ingredients and how they can be used to filter, or clean, water. Each team chose their own unique way to approach our challenge, using the provided materials in various ways. In the end, all teams were successful at getting the water cleaner than when we started. Go science!
