There is still a water crisis in the world. How can we help be a part of the solution?
This activity will raise awareness of the critical use of chemistry to provide one of the most basic human needs; clean drinking water.

Starting with local natural surface waters, students will replicate one or both of the main steps of drinking water treatment--clarification and disinfection.
Younger students will clarify natural surface water and observe disinfection done by their teacher. Older students will both clarify and disinfect natural water.
