Can you purify dirty water with a water filtration system?Learn about filtration and make your own water filter at home or in the classroom. All you need are a few simple supplies and some dirty water you can mix up yourself to get started. We love fun, hands-on STEM projects for kids!
Our local water departments use many different methods to give us safe drinking water, and filtration is just one of them. Filtration systems use many different layers or filters, such as charcoal, sand, fibers, even plants.
