DESCRIPTION
In this project, our group decided to answer the question "How is drinking water treated?". We researched our topic and designed a water filtration system to help us understand the processes involved.

Ph- the measurement of concentration of hydrogen ions, measurement of solution acidity or alkalinity.
Ph scale- acidity or alkalinity of water-soluble substances (pH means ' hydrogen potential '). A pH value is a number between 1 and 14, with a neutral point in the middle being 7. Values below 7 show acidity that increases as the number decreases, the most acidic of which is 1.
Solute- A minor solution component, dissolved in solvent.
Solution- A liquid mixture in which the minor (solute) component is distributed uniformly within the major (solvent) component.
Polarity- the way atoms connect with each other. They share electrons when atoms come together in chemical bonding. When one of the atoms exerts a stronger attractive force on the bond's electrons, a polar molecule arises.
Solubility- the ability to dissolve in water in particular.
Virus- an infectious agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat is too small to be seen by light
microscopy and can multiply an infectious agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat only within thehost's living cells, is too small to be seen by light microscopy and can only multiply within the host's living cells.
Bacteria- member of a large group of unicellular microorganisms with cell walls but lacking in organelles and an organized
nucleus, some of which may cause illness.
Separation- a field with a large number of applications in both industry and the environment is the separation of particles or
droplets from a flow.
Electrolyte- an ion-containing liquid or gel that may be decomposed by electrolysis, e.g. present in a battery.
Non-electrolyte- asubstance that does not exist in an ionic form in aqueous solution.
Organic matter- matter that recently came from a living organism
Below are images of the final product, a testing trial, and the top view of the final product, as well as the slideshow presentation my group created.

REFLECTION
In this project, my group was quick to decide what we wanted to do and how we were going to accomplish it. Another of our strengths was that we were familiar with each other and comfortable working together because we had been in a group previously, and did not have conflict. During this project, I played a more passive role and did not communicate well with my team, which caused me to lack in fully understanding the topic. We also didn't evenly divide the work, so not all of us were working on the project at once. In the future, we could work harder to communicate and distribute work.
I worked on this project with Suyash Krishan, Joaquin Arellanes, and Thomas Towey.
