Water is essential for life, and everyone on Earth needs it.  Most water needs to be treated in some way, and the most basic way to clean water is by using a filter.  Filters help get rid of unwanted particles from the drinking water we eventually get from our faucets.  Think of a stream full of algae and silt and other bits of organic matter - would you want to drink this?  (I wouldn’t!)  When you construct a filter, you are creating a barrier that blocks these dirty substances as you pour water through it.  This is basically how a filter works.

Classes start at 10:15 am

**NOTE: This is the same topic/class as the JAM Session on Saturday, April 17th**
