Hi guys! I hope you had a fabulous week. I wanted to share with you a fun water filtration project the kids and I did. This activity ties into our science and geography units. We followed the instructions in Apologia Exploring Creation with Physics and Chemistry. The boys loved ever minute of this project.
We started by going for a nature walk and collecting water from
our local river.
Here's the water we collected.
When we got home we set up our filtration system. I won't go
into details because it's part of the lesson in the book.
The boys started pouring the dirty water through the filtration slowly.
our container was really large so it's hard to see the water
but it was clean. Of course not clean enough to drink because it
didn't go through the treatment process.
This was an amazing lesson and the boys got to see first hand how to filter water. I hope you enjoyed seeing this project.

This is such a fantastic project! It’s amazing to see how hands-on learning can make complex processes like water filtration so engaging. The boys must have been thrilled to see their dirty river water turn into purified water through their efforts!
