Today we have been trying to get clean water back from a mix of dirt and water.

The children were sent to create their own solution using mud a water, and were then set the task of getting back pure, clean water from their mud pies. The children used a variety of methods including using a sieve, funnels and filter paper. Some methods worked better than others, but all the children showed great effort throughout the activity.

– Do you know what the term ‘dissolve’ means?
– Do you understand what you would use a funnel and a piece of filter paper for?
– What do you think is the most successful way of getting clean water back?
