WAT-ER We Drinking
OUR PROJECT
In this project, we were tasked with testing different types of water filtration devices and choosing the best one. We narrowed down our choices to a few different options. In the end, we chose to research the life straw, a refresh2go water bottle filter, and boiling water. These seemed to be the most effective, cheap, and mobile water filtration devices that we could find.

CONTENT
pH : A measure of hydrogen ion concentration, measurement of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14.
Solution: a special type of homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances
Solute : the minor component in a solution, dissolved in the solvent.
Solvent : the liquid in which a solute is dissolved to form a solution.
Electrolyte : a liquid or gel that contains ions and can be decomposed by electrolysis
Polarity : a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole moment, with a negatively charged end and a positively charged end
REFLECTION
Through this project I have learned a lot about the water that we drink. It is something everyone needs so it was helpful for me to learn more about how to filer cleaner water. I had some strengths as well as some weaknesses throughout the course of this project. One of my strengths was my communication. I was able to collaborate with my group to figure out the best solutions together. Another strength of mine was my work ethic. We had some times where work wasn't getting done, but for the most part we were on task. One of my weaknesses was my time management. We had a little bit of trouble preparing for the presentation of our project to the class. Another weakness of mine was my understanding of the subject. At first, the idea that the contents of the straw would make dirty water clean again was too hard for me to grasp. My favorite part of this project was discovering what actually was inside the filtration straw. Overall this was a very enjoyable project for me.
