35.Water Filtration EQ: How can we determine the safety and drinkability of our water supplies? LT: I can describe the processes that can be used to convert unusable water to usable resources. POU: I will make observations about rock type vs. permeability -I will draw and label the steps for water filtration -I will work with my group to review water filtration concepts.
Welcome! Warm Up 3/20/14 1. Why would clay be found at the bottom of a well? 2. Why are we running out of groundwater? Go to to record your response

Water Filtration Vocabulary 24 Runoff – is precipitation that flows over land into streams and rivers. This water later enters oceans. Filtration – process of passing water through a series of screens that allow water through but not large particles Aeration – The water is mixed to liberate dissolved gases and to suspended particles in water column. Coagulation – The process by which particles in a liquid clump together Sedimentation – The water left undisturbed to allow the heavy clumps of particles and coagulants to settle out Disinfection – The water is treated to destroy any remaining disease causing pathogens Potable Water – drinkable water Safe water: water that will not harm you if you come in contact with it.

BANK You will work in your lab groups to answer questions. When I call time, flash me your Ipad with only the Letter of the answer choice Some questions you will be silent (No Help from your group!) Some I will let you come to a consensus
