Science Water filtering

Aim: To create a safe way to clean and drink water in a survival situation 

Hypothesis:
I believe that we can create the safest possible method to filter filthy water to drinkable water.   

Equipment:

• Contaminated Water
• x2 Funnels
• Stand
• x2 Clamps
• Pebbles
• Sand
• Cotton
• Charcoal
• Paper Towel.
• Bunsen Burner
• Filter Paper
• Bunsen Burner Gas Hose 

Method:

1. Identify all necessary equipment in this case we had done this
2. We set up the equipment. Stand,on the stand we put two clamps,in those clamps we put funnels,in the first funnel we added cotten and pebbles in the bottom funnels was cotton and sand.
3. After this stage we added the next equipment to the funnels
4. This included in the top funnel cotton and charcoal in the bottom was filter paper. 
5. We finished the experiment with boiling the water.

 

Results:
The result were positive to the aim and hypotheses. We ended with a result that gave us a drinkable liquid in a survival situation.

Discussion:

With the equipment set up the first stage was controlled perfectly. We had a positive situation which partly filtered water.This was the result of all stages doing their job. Pebbles rippled the water which left all silk at the top.

Using the sand all micro minerals had dissolved and this gave us a partly filtered water.

We put charcoal in the top filter this did not work as well as the pebbles. Because the water went around the charcoal.
We had filter paper in the bottom filter this gave a finishing touch on filtering water because it did the best in filtering.

Boiling the water made all micro organisms to die giving a drinkable liquid. 

Conclusion:

The experiment was no avoid but gave us a clean result. As of this we know have the skills to survive in the bush.This has demonstrated the fundamentals of mixing and separating. As of this it is shown in our results that we had a positive experiment.
