Description After reading about a young girl in India who wants to clean up polluted water near her home, we will design and test our own water filters. In this study group, we will learn about the water cycle and potential sources of water contamination. We will spend most of our time using the steps of the engineering process to design our own filters, test them, and refine our designs.
