Dirty Water Experiment

last week 7/8 T/Z went to the science lab with Mr Palmer. We had to get bottles here is the instructions for this dirty water experiment.

Aim: To make a filtration plant using household materials.

Water Filtration Plant

What is filtration?

Filtration is separating solids from liquids by adding a medium through which only the liquid can pass. 

Examples are:

1.  coffee
2.  tea
3.  kidney
4. pool 

Materials

1. water bottle

2. coffee filter

3. Elastic band 

4. pop bottle top 

5. dirty water

6. rocks 

7. coarse sand 

8. fine sand 

Process - ( use verbs or doing words in each step )

Step 1 

Cut the bottle in half so that you have a funnel and a container.

Step 2

Put the top half or the funnel upside down onto the other half or the container

STEP 3

Add layers of  filter paper, sand and rocks .

STEP 4

Add 1 cup of dirty water.

STEP 5

Pour dirty water into the bottle and wait for it to pass through the filter.

Reflection 

What did I see happen?

The water going fast and not slow and it was still dirty 

Did the experiment work well?

No. it spilt  on the table and failed 

What would I do differently next time?

not to add that much rocks and sand and definitely not that much water 

CARR Cards

Hornby High school have some values that all the students should show. Here they are Commitment,Respect,Resilience and Achievement. Commitment is showing that you have to get ready for school and other things. Respect means that you should respect the equipment and other people. Resilience means that you should never give up and keep trying. The Last  value is Achievement it means that you should write some goals up and then achieve them. The last thing I wanted to talk about is the award for the CARR Card. So you get a card from the teacher and when she see's you doing something good she will stamp the card. When you get a whole card stamped you put it in the container and then at the end of the day like Friday she does the draw. And if you get your name pulled out you get a prize like a Juicy voucher. Then if you get 5 whole stamp cards filled you get a $5 dollar cafe voucher for the school cafe. Then if you get 10 stamp cards filled you get a $10 dollar gift voucher to the mall or the cafe we also have a CARR card draw for the whole school where Mr Scott pull's out some CARR  Cards and if you get your Name pulled out you can get bigger prizes like a skate board and more big prizes.

Here is a photo of A CARR card.     

Thank you for listening to My CARR card blog post please comment if you think I need to add More details.
