The Water Filter Project
I have worked through it with four
different schools, all year six pupils. All of my Head teachers requested a
more formal, structured approach to building the supporting tower for the
funnel.
This takes about two hours, the filtration input and competition 11/2 hours in
the afternoon and the structures, materials taught element up to one hour, as
the time safety valve for rounding up the morning session.
It was a really busy day, needing good organisation and classroom technique but
thoroughly enjoyed by all. We had parents in for the latter part of the day for
prize giving etc.
I ran a District two hour introduction session, and most clubs that will
participate look to doing it in the new school year. I would recommend that
clubs starting out use the bridge project as it is more time manageable.
