Water Filtration system

Description:

The Water Filtration System model demonstrates the basic principles of water purification, providing a hands-on learning experience for students. This model shows how contaminated water can be passed through different layers of filtering materials to remove impurities and produce cleaner water. Students can learn about essential water purification concepts, including sedimentation, filtration, and adsorption, making it an ideal science project for understanding water conservation and environmental science.

How It Works:

1. Layered Filtration: Water is poured through a series of layers in a filter. Each layer is made of different materials, each responsible for filtering out specific types of impurities.
2. Stages of Filtration:
   • Gravel Layer: Removes larger particles and sediment.
   • Sand Layer: Traps smaller particles, dirt, and impurities.
   • Activated Charcoal Layer: Adsorbs contaminants, odors, and any dissolved impurities.
   • Cotton Layer: Further filters out fine particles before the water exits.
3. Collection of Cleaned Water: The filtered water is collected at the bottom, cleaner than before, showing how natural filtration processes can be effective in purifying water.

Key Components:

• Gravel: Removes large debris and particles.
• Sand: Filters smaller particles from the water.
• Activated Charcoal: Adsorbs toxins, odors, and impurities.
• Cotton: Acts as a final filter for fine particles.
• Container: Holds the filtration layers in place and collects filtered water.

Educational Value: This project teaches students about water filtration and purification methods, helping them understand real-world applications of filtering in water treatment facilities. It emphasizes the importance of clean water and demonstrates environmental science concepts effectively.
