What is filtration?
Filtration is any various mechanical,physical or biological operation that separate solids from fluids(liquid or gases) by adding a medium through which only the fluids can pass. The fluid that passes through is called the flirtrate.
Examples are:
- Brewing Coffee
- Kidney
- Separating dirty from water (Dirty water and a cloth)
- H.E.P.A (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) Filter (Air conditioner) and vacuum
Materials
1.Plastic bottle
2.Filter Paper
3.Sand
4.Pebbles
5.Scissors
6.Water
Process - ( use verbs or doing words in each step )
Step 1
Cut the bottle in half using scissors
Step 2
After cutting put the top half upside down
STEP 3
Put the filter paper with sand inside the bottle(you need to fold it before you put the sand inside)
STEP 4
Add the pebbles on the top of the sand and filter paper
STEP 5
Put the dirty water slowly and observe what is the result of your experiment.
Measurements
Write a short sentence about the water every 1 minute.
Include 'How much water has filtered through', 'How fast it is dripping through', and
'How clear the water is'.
We got the water to drip! It’s not clear though however there wasn’t any dirt to it.
The experiment turned out well I wouldn’t say it was our best work.
I was the one who cut the bottle into half, Rieya did the folding of the filter paper,
Lhysette was in charge of getting the sand, Rieya was in charge of getting the pebbles,
Lhysette was also in charge of getting the dirty water
As I said you don’t really expect it to be clear as actual water so don’t get your expectation high.
What I feel:
My group and I are pretty happy with our work but it could’ve been much better if the water was
a little bit clear.
My next steps:
My next step is, placing the layers properly because the water wasn’t clear enough but it’s clean
Group members: Me, Lhysette, Rieya and Skyler
