First+Experiment

Hypothesis: If we filter the water, then some of the chemical material will be separated.

What will you do? - Use paper filter to filter out the assumed dirt. We will begin by separating the solids and the liquids from the substance by pouring the liquid into a graduated cylinder. The filter paper will stop any of the dirt.

Why are you doing it? -to take out the assumed dirt material.

FOR EXPERIMENT: 1. approval by nilsen (for safety) 2. Set up picture 3. result picture


 * Analysis: What worked/ didn't work and why/ next steps?**


 * sand did not work as well- we thought it would take out the odor, but all it did was just absorb the liquid
 * charcoal and filter paper worked- took out the odor and took out the color
 * distillation, regular filtering, and charcoal worked better
 * next step- filter out the water as far as we possibly can and record/observe as we go along
