Glitter Water Filtration

In this hands-on water filtration activity, students design and build their own filters to clean "dirty" water mixed with glitter, beads, and other fake pollutants. Using simple materials like cotton balls, sand, pebbles, wood chips, and paper, each student will experiment with different layered filters to trap pollutants and clean the contaminated water. This activity will explore how filtration works, promote problem-solving, and create environmental awareness. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the importance of clean drinking water through modeling real-world water treatment using everyday materials.
