Lesson Summary: 

In this lesson, students engaged in a project by designing their own water filters. They began by researching different methods of water filtration and the science behind each method. Using this knowledge, students brainstormed and sketched their filter designs, considering factors such as materials, cost, and effectiveness. They then constructed prototypes and tested them with contaminated water samples, recording the results and making necessary adjustments. Finally, students presented their designs and findings to the class, explaining the rationale behind their choices and the effectiveness of their filters. This project not only enhanced their understanding of water purification but also developed their problem-solving, critical thinking, and presentation skills.
