What is the filtration?


Filtration is separating solids from liquids by adding a medium through which only the liquid can pass. 

Examples are:

  1.  Water is one of the examples you put water into a filter so you can drink it and it will be nice and clean.
  2.  dirty clothes you have dirty clothes and you put them into the washing machine and the washing machine gets the sweat and dirt out so you can wear the clothes again.
  3. pool when your swimming in a pool you probably hop out then go back in the filter in a pool drains the mud, dirt, and leaves that you put back into the pool.
  4. air the air is filtered by trees, trees help us breathe the healthy air.

Findings

Write a short sentence about the water every 1 minute. 
Include 'How much water has filtered through', 'How fast it is dripping through', and 'How clear the water is'.

Minutes      1.    The first minute the water went slow but it was dirty                     2.   It got faster and a bit brown                3. It was a bit brown but it was going really slow                    4.    it stopped and it was a little bit brown 
Water colour: light brown
Conclusion: This was a really cool experience I liked that we could use natural things and I liked that we could use this in the wilderness. My groups water filter didn't work well but ours werent that bad. I think my groups didn't work because the water went down the sides.
