We all rely on clean, drinkable water to survive.  (Remember that most of our body is water.)  The water in our bodies must be replenished by drinking plenty of it during the day.  How do we get water that we can drink?  The water that comes to us from our environment is not usually drinkable - it must be treated to remove harmful substances in it.  One type of treatment involves filtration.  Filtration removes substances and microscopic organisms that float in the water, as well as some substances that are dissolved in it.  Using materials from the pet and hardware stores you can construct your own water filtration device to see how this treatment process works.

Registration opens at 10:00 on March 3rd
