Filters!

      Filters!

We just finished the flinkers an engineering design challenge. Now we are working on filters, another engineering project. This time we do it in school. We were working in groups, which made it fun. We got to work with new materials that we have never used before. In the beginning Mrs. Foss gave us screens, coffee filters, art sand and gravel, and after that we had another lesson and she gave us felt and cheesecloth.  (Felt is a fabric that is often used for sewing and clothes, cheesecloth is a material mostly used for tablemats and other things). Here are some tips on how to make a filter. 1. Find everyday materials, 2. Put a hole in the bottom of a plastic pop bottle, 3.cut off the bottom of the bottle get some water with soil in it, 4. Put your filter over the bottom and see if the water is clear. We have something we want you to know… always make sure you being open minded to new materials because that’s how we made our filter. We were always open-minded and were willing to take other ideas from other people. So we wish you good luck on your filter! Thank you for reading! Hope you liked it!!!!!
