Body:
For this activity students will work in pairs to design a water filter, which
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.
Their poster will include:
- List of materials
- Instructional procedure of how to make it
- Photos of the materials
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.
Students will share the poster/ Google Doc they made with their partner,
as well as with the teacher.

- Make a comparison between their water filter and the water filter
used at the water filtration plant.
OBJECTIVES
Teacher will observe and make anecdotal notes throughout the lesson, looking at
whether they participate in the brain storm whole-class activity, as well as how
well they work with their pair in designing the water filter.
The teacher will also collect the posters/ Google Docs at the end of the lesson.

Conclusion:
Students will have the opportunity to reflect on the
experiment.
They can either do so in a written format on Google
or Word Doc or record themselves talking about it.
They will answer:
- Pros of the experiment: Was their filter
effective, how clean was the water in the
bucket?
- Cons: what didn’t work so well, what could
be improved on?
