Activity - Homemade Water Filter

Necessary material: Pet bottle, large and small stones, sand, earth, powdered charcoal and cotton.

First step: mixing water with soil to make the water dirty.

Second step: after cutting the bottom of the pet bottle, with its "mouth" facing down, place in the following order: cotton, powdered charcoal, sand, smaller stones and, on top, the larger stones.

Third step: pour the soiled water into the cut part of the bottle. After a few seconds, the water will come out much cleaner from the bottom.

Remember that this is a home filtering process, not a professional one. Therefore, "filtered water" is not suitable for human consumption, it is just a recreational activity for students to observe.
