1 Long Flight Survival: Water purification How could we get drinking water from the large amounts of wastewater that we generate on this mission?

2 Where does the waste water come from? Urine Sweat Breath from respiration Coolants for the many heat generating machines Transpiration from plants in the spacecraft’s garden

3 Your challenge is, using this lab apparatus, set up a water purification still which would give you, over enough time, water fit to drink. Large beaker Small beaker 15 x 15 cm kitchen foil 15x 15 cm black paper 3 x strong rubber bands In pairs, design a suitable still. You have 15mins to produce a diagram showing how it could be set up

4 Possible design for a solar still

5 Now explain how your solar still works. Use the following words solid liquid gas solution solvent solute evaporate water molecules condense
