 * Hypothesis** - If we use only charcoal to filter the water from our last experiment, we will be able to get the same color water we have in the separate container.


 * What we are going to do** - We will take a coffee filter, spread charcoal around in it and place it in a funnel. We will put the Erlenmeyer flask underneath it to catch the water. From there, we will combine the two water samples and figure out a way to fully purify it.


 * Materials**
 * 5mL gray water
 * 1 teaspoon of charcoal
 * 1 funnel
 * 1 Erlenmeyer flask
 * 1 coffee filter


 * Why we are doing this** - We figured that the charcoal in the water will attach itself to the charcoal that is in the coffee filter. This would leave only clearer water to drain out.


 * Fail or Success? -** Fail.
 * There was a hole in the bottom of the coffee filter, allowing charcoal to mix with the water we were trying to drain out.
