Foul Water Lab - 60 minutes
Your objective is to purify a sample of foul water, producing as much "clean water” as possible. CAUTION: do not test the purity of the water samples by drinking or tasting. You will use three water-purification procedures: (1) oil-water separation, (2) sand filtration, and (3) charcoal adsorption and filtration. In filtration, solid particles are separated from a liquid by passing the mixture through a material that retains the solid particles. The liquid collected after filtration is called the filtrate. See Google Classroom for the Google Document. Teacher will print a hard copy for you. Turn in the hard copy into teacher when finished.
