How could I drink fish water if I was stranded in the forest?

On Tuesday, our budding engineers explored how environmental engineers work to address the different types of issues that affect our environment. Our environment includes many things, some of which are plants, animals, and water! In our classroom, we tested different ways to prevent or remove contamination from water and we designed our very own filter systems. To continue the learning at home, test out creating filters using different types of materials like tissue, foil, or a plastic sandwich bag with holes of varying sizes! Together, you and your scientist can see how materials made up of different properties work when trying to sift out dirt and and debris from a cup of water.
