In this engineering project you ll be designing a water filtration system.
Water filtration science project hypothesis.
To filtrate out the salt crystals a filter with holes large enough for water molecules but smaller then salt crystals must be used.
This science project is a collaboration between science buddies and the education division of california uc center for environmental implications of nanotechnology cein.
By the end of this project.
Collect the water that passes through known as the filtrate in another beaker.
Pour the less muddy water through the filter using the glass rod.
Aeration adds air to the water.
I believe that there will need to be a few materials used together to filter the water.
Divide the filtrate which still contains tiny particles in suspension into two.
Based on our prior knowledge of the subject which is that there are several ways to purify water other than the conventional 100 dollar brita filters such as boiling water we hypothesize that we will be able to find an efficient method of purifying water.
It is therefore they hypothesis of this experiment that using items collected from around the house a filter with these qualifications will not be found and therefore the filters will not work.
This is expressed in our different hypotheses which is if water containing bacteria and dirt goes through the water filter then the water will be clearer after filtration because materials like sand dirt and carbon will clean the water and remove the dirt.
Our project took us through the first four.
I think combination of the coffee filter.
Fold a filter paper twice to form a cone before placing it in the funnel.
It allows gases trapped in the water to escape and adds oxygen to the water.
In this experiment you will filter three water samples with different contaminant food color concentrations using three different filtration conditions granular.
By combining different materials to create a filter you ll be able to clean dirty water.
There are five steps to basic water purification.
