In this experiment the kids learned just how hard it is to undo water pollution.
We grabbed a bucket of clean water, some household trash, vegetable oil (to stand for toxic oil spills), tongs, and a strainer.
The kids took turns adding trash to the water.
After our water was yucky enough
they tried to remove all of the pollution using tongs and a strainer.
Emily even tried to scoop up the little pieces of trash and dirt with her hands.
After 15 minutes of trying to remove all of the pollutants, we were left with a pile of trash and water that was still oily and dirty.
The conclusion ~ It is impossible to remove all of the pollutants from the water.
To go along with our experiment we read Oil Spill! by Melvin Berger
and Where Does the Garbage Go? by Paul Showers.
Tomorrow we are going to decorate a compost container to keep in the kitchen and some new recycling bins.

That is way too cool! My kids would love to do this. If you're willing I'd love if you would link this up to my Science Sunday post this Sunday.
WOW, That's very good. You do the coolest things!
Thank you for your comment on my blog. Means so much to me :)
Gros bisous

Excellent, excellent study - I loved this so much!
I am going to try this with Jordan today!
Yes, it is true that there is no way to undo pollution. It seems to ring to the cliche "damaged is done". However, as technology develops, there are also some procedures introduced to somehow clean dirty water.
Our company uses stormwater systems to filter rainwater and reuse it. It makes acid rain reached its normal ph and make it possible for human use. Who knows, in the next decades men can also invent something that can turn a totally polluted water clean.
This is adorable and sweet! Did they learn something from it? If it was a long time ago, you think they still recall the lesson to be learned?
Just saw this on Pinterest and had to stop by. I am so impressed with this activity. I am an Environmental Science major and love teaching my children ways they can help make a difference. This is one activity we must try! I would be curious to try filling a knee high stocking with hair as they did during the gulf spills and seeing what effect that had on the water. So cool! really, thank you!
Hi Cindy,
We loved this hands-on exploration of pollution and featured your activity in our Earth Day showcase over at Preschool Lesson Plan!
You can find the full feature here:

We were sure to give idea/photo credit, as well as a link back to your blog, but we'd love for you to check it out!
Have a wonderful day,
Kayla
We all can help prevent water pollution. Governments have laws that cover pollution by industry, but many of the things people do every day contribute to the problem.
This is such a great project. I shared it on my website which is a collection of ideas for scout troops. I linked back to your project page. THANK YOU!

I certainly approve of the purpose of this activity. It is really impossible to remove all of the pollutants in the water. Although technological advancement has introduced ways to clean dirty water, still it cannot be restored into its clean and original state. This activity is very educational; it can instill in the child’s mind the importance of caring for the environment. I hope many parents will do this kinds of activities with their kids, and it will surely enlighten them.

Scientists should spend a little less time trying to predict when we'll die, and a little more time trying to delay or prevent it from happening.

Thank you so much for sharing this activity. My kids are going to love it! I just put the books recommended on hold at the library too. Can't wait to see how it all goes!
This is such a great way of sharing an important lesson - love it! And thanks for the book recommendations, too. Found your post through Jamie's roundup of Top 10 Water Experiments :-)
That's awesome! To give them a further sense empowerment and knowledge on the topic (maybe 5th or 6 grade). It would be great to show the kids that over time, with Bio Filtration ( plants and soil), the water can be cleaned! :-)
This is a fun and creative way of educating the little one regarding the importance of proper waste handling and disposal and pollution.
This is a perfect addition for an event I will be doing to talk about water quality and ocean pollution! I plan to add a few other things coffee filters (to see if they can strain the oil, etc. out) sand, shells and some marine animals that should actually belong in the water and see where it goes! I did something similar in the past without water and was excited to see that (without guidance)kids were taking out the trash! Thanks for sharing!
I'm actually using this as a visual with our Cadette Girl Scout troop who is working this weekend with Brownies on their Wonders of Water Journey - thank you!!

Keep the learning going - after you're left with a pan of oil-filled water, give the kids a knee-hi stocking and some cotton balls. Stuff the cotton balls into the stocking and explain that this is similar to what environmental clean up crews use to clean up oil spills in water. Have them slowly drag their "boom" through the water - can they start to corral the oil? Does the oil begin to absorb into the cotton? This ends the lesson on a more positive note, that we are finding ways to clean up pollution (although it's better not to create it in the first place.)
I think this article will fully complement your article. PLease continue publishing helpful topics like this. Regards, from CWR, a company whose into selling ceramic water filter
من منا لا يدرك أهمية الغاز!!؛ فتواجده في المؤسسات والمصانع والمنازل؛
أمر لابد منه بلا منازع؛ وذلك لأهمية تواجده القصوى؛ فمعظم المؤسسات والمصانع تستخدم الغاز المركزي
؛ لتلبية كافة حاجياتها الضرورية واليومية لاستخدامات الغاز؛
ونظرا لأهمية الغاز؛ فهناك العديد من شركات تمديد الغاز المركزى؛ أخذت على عاتقها تقديم خدمات تمديد خطوط الغاز المركزى؛ وصيانه خطوط الغاز
؛ وكشف تسربات الغاز؛ بالإضافة إلى إصلاح خطوط الغاز؛
ولكن معظم شركات تمديد الغاز المركزى بالرياض؛ لا تقدم كل هذه الخدمات بجودة عالية؛ وبأسعار خيالية
؛ مما يجعلك تطلب خدمة صيانه خطوط الغاز؛ أو كشف تسربات الغاز
؛ وإصلاح خطوط الغاز؛ من شركة تمديد الغاز أخرى؛ تضمن لك تقديم خدمات عالية الجودة؛ وذلك لتفادي مخاطر الغاز.
