Experiment+5

E x p e r i m e n t ﻿5
 * Hypothesis** - Experiment 4 could have worked if we used less charcoal but spread it around the coffee filter, and did not mix it as roughly as we did to make the water come down.


 * What we are going to do** - We will be repeating experiment 4 only this time, we will be filling the coffee filter with less charcoal, but spreading it around the filter. We will also not be as rough with it as we were. We are running out of water so we want to be very careful with this experiment.


 * Materials**
 * 40mL of foul water (that is the rest of our water)
 * 1/2 teaspoon of charcoal
 * 1 funnel
 * 1 coffee filter
 * 1 Erlenmeyer Flask


 * Why we are going to do this -** The previous could have worked if we were more careful with it and had a less amount of charcoal in the filter. Therefore, we will do the experiment again, just with less materials and more care.


 * Fail or Success? -** Success!
 * Just when we were about to give up, we got clear water!
 * Once all the water was drained, we boiled it to fully purify it.


 * please note, we couldn't have gotten clear water without the help of Emily Savage.
