Cleaning Up Dirty Water: A Hands-On Approach to Filtration Science

Ryan and Peck tackle a science experiment to clean dirty water using household items. They gather materials like socks, sand, rocks, and coffee filters to build a water filter. After constructing the filter, they test different materials to see which cleans the water best. The coffee filter proves most effective, producing the clearest water. The experiment demonstrates how everyday items can be used for scientific purposes.

What was the initial problem Ryan and Peck faced?

• A missing science experiment

• A glass of dirty water

• A broken teleportation device

• A lost sock

What did Peck suggest to use for filtering the dirty water?

• A magic spell

• Everyday household items

• A vacuum cleaner

• A high-tech gadget

Which item was NOT used in the filter construction?

• Plastic wrap

• Sock

• Sand

• Coffee filter

What did the team use to hold the filter materials in place?

• Glue

• Tape

• Rubber bands

• String

How did the team ensure the filter was secure?

• By using a lid

• By using rubber bands

• By using a screw

• By using a clamp

What was the purpose of using rocks in the filter?

• To catch larger dirt particles

• To make the filter colorful

• To block the water flow

• To add weight to the filter

What was the role of sand in the filter?
