How can we design an effective water filtration system to remove impurities and make water safe to drink?

Project Description

In this project, students will design, build, and test a water filtration system to solve the real-world problem of water contamination. The project aligns with NGSS and Common Core standards, including structured rubrics to assess performance and provide meaningful feedback. Students will engage in hands-on learning, critical thinking, and collaboration throughout the process.

Why Use this Project?

This project is ideal for fostering STEM learning through hands-on experimentation and problem-solving. Students gain valuable insights into environmental science, engineering principles, and water safety while developing critical skills such as collaboration, communication, and project management. The lesson plan is well-structured, standards-aligned, and includes rubrics that help guide student learning and improve their performance. This engaging, real-world project will prepare students for future challenges in both academic and professional settings.
