Institute for Social Impact
Water Filtration
As part of their Social Impact theme “The Environment,” Second Graders work to develop their analytical thinking and curiosity as they learn about water pollution around the world and in their own backyards.
Students then use the engineering design process to form hypotheses, create prototypes, and test solutions and materials to create working filters.
“All of this requires students to test materials, to record and analyze data, to imagine which materials might make the best combinations, and to judge for themselves which combinations best satisfy the criteria,” said Amy Banks, Lower School Science teacher.
