Filtration Science Experiment

Hello Guys! Today in Science we are doing an experiment called "Filtration". For this experiment, I partnered up with Nevaeh, Risha, and Shreya.

What does Filtration mean?
It means the action or process of filtering something.

Examples:
1. Pool Filter
2. Coffee Filter Machine
3. Tea Bag
4. Kidney

Materials: 
- Large Plastic Bottle 
- Filter Paper
- Pebbles
- Sand
- Dirty water
- Scissors
- Cup
- Tissue 
- Cutter

Process
Step 1. Get a large plastic bottle 
Step 2. Get a cutter and cut a small line in the middle of the plastic bottle 
Step 3. Get sharp scissors and proceed the cutting around the large plastic bottle
Step 4. Get a filter Paper and fold it in half and fold it in half again
Step 5. Open one layer of the filter paper and the other 3 just leave it there.
Step 6. You should have a shaped cone as a result, now out the cone inside the other half where there's a hole in order the drink can go through. 
Step 7. Put the first half and place it in the top of the other half like this:

Step 7. Get your sand and put it to the top first then the pebbles.
Step 8. Get your dirty water and put in the top, also make sure you put your tissue paper underneath the bottle just in case some sand falls out.
Step 9. No pebbles or sand should go to the side of filter paper because it'll ruin the experiment
Step 10. Now it should slowly be pouring some clean water to the other empty half If it went faster and the dirty water comes out... well sorry to say, you failed it 🖓

Our ones succeed and here's a proof:

Bye! See you in the next post!

  1. Excellent blog post Elisha Mae! Great work on this activity. You have earned your point towards your science badge for this write up. My favourite part was the detail you gave us in the instructions. I feel like I could recreate this by following your step by step guide.
