Experiment 4 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.
