Beach Water Experiment!

Ohh nooo… Hedgehogs’ have turned into scientists! This week in science we tried to turn dirty beach water into fresh and clean water. Although we thought this would be super easy, Year Two discovered it was actually really tricky. They experimented with funnels, kitchen roll, coffee filters and cotton wool and had to decide in groups which was the best filter to use to make the cleanest liquid. Hedgehogs’ had great patience and perseverance, whilst working as a team, to discover the best technique. We are still not quiet sure which was the best! So we have decided to freeze the water and see if we can melt it and collect clean drips (who knows what will happen). Check out our beach scientists below!
