will turn dirty water to clean water.
Students will research what materials they want to use for the experiment
and record it as a Google Doc or Pic Collage.
They will also detail step by step instructions on how they’re going to go
about making the water filter in the next lesson.

- Instructional procedure of how to make it
- Photos of the materials

Materials may include:


- 2 litre empty plastic water bottle
- A homemade filter (sock, paper towel, sponge, cotton balls)

Conclusion:
Teacher will explain that in the next lesson students must bring in their
materials and put together their filter as they will be testing whether it
works by pouring contaminated/ dirty water through it.
