Half fill a small glass with water. Add some soil

and oil and stir it till it become a brownish

colored mixture. This will be the “dirty water”

used in the experiment.

Pour some prepared “dirty water” mixture into the

top of the filter column very slowly. The water will

trickle slowly down through the filters.

There will be water remains in every observation

section before they drip off into another filter

column. Compare the result of each observation layer

and you will see the different functions of different

filter materials.

*Warning: The filter column is not

intended as a filtering device for

drinking water. Do not drink the filtered

water.
