Low-Tech Water Filter for High-Impact Clean
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

Washing Air
Learners observe and discuss a simple model of a wet scrubber, a device for cleaning industrial air pollution.

For Your Eyes Only
Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.

Cleaning Air with Balloons
Learners observe a simple balloon model of an electrostatic precipitator. These devices are used for pollutant recovery in cleaning industrial air pollution.

Let's Bag It
Learners observe and discuss a vacuum cleaner as a model of a baghouse, a device used in cleaning industrial air pollution.
