Nature’s Water Purifiers: Thursday’s Filtration Investigation!

On Thursday, our 6th Class scientists investigated the journey of water through our environment, putting their scientific skills to the test with a fascinating filtration challenge.

The students stepped into the shoes of environmental engineers to explore how the Earth naturally cleans water. Layering natural materials like charcoal, sand, gravel, and stones, and jugs of muddy water – they built their very own natural filters allowing them to transform murky, debris filled water into crystal-clear H2O.

Take a look at the photos below to see the concentration, careful observation, and amazement on their faces as they watched nature’s filtration system in action!
