Water Purification System Project

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Water Purification Methods School Project is a hands-on educational activity designed to teach students about the importance of clean water and various methods used to purify it. This project demonstrates the science behind water purification processes and highlights their practical applications in daily life. Students will learn how to create a working or non-working model of a purification system, showcasing different techniques such as filtration, sedimentation, distillation, and chemical treatment.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Understand the necessity of clean water for health and the environment.
• Learn about various water purification methods, including:
  • Filtration: Removing impurities using physical barriers like sand, charcoal, or mesh.
  • Sedimentation: Allowing heavy particles to settle at the bottom.
  • Distillation: Purifying water by boiling and condensing steam.
  • Chemical Treatment: Using substances like chlorine to eliminate harmful microbes.
• Develop practical skills by designing and building a functional or display model.
• Explore real-world applications of water purification systems in homes, industries, and disaster relief efforts.
• Enhance critical thinking and problem-solving abilities through experimentation and model creation.
• Prepare for science fairs, exhibitions, and environmental awareness programs with an innovative and educational project.

This project not only educates students about the science of water purification but also inspires them to think critically about solutions to global water challenges.
