Findings
Write a short sentence about the water every 1 minute.
Include 'How much water has filtered through', 'How fast it is dripping through', and 'How clear the water is'.
Minutes 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Drops per minute: 6. 5. 3. 5. 6.
Water colour: yellow
Conclusion:
Now we know that if dirty water comes through pebbles, sand and filter paper it becomes clear and changes it's colour as well. Now we know the steps and how much minute per drops it can do. You can try this out and see what will your dirty water changes into.
