3rd Week and Progressing

          Week 3 is here and my group and I are progressing. We have made a list of materials we need to create our filtering system. Our group is still waiting to receive our materials. After we get them we can be on our way to building the water filter. The group and I are also trying to figure out what other material we could use besides a PVC pipe. We learned that if a PVC pipe is in extremely hot weather, like Africa has, it could go into flames. That is something we certainly don't want to happen. Other than that, my group is doing great on our project.
Our group is prepared to get started on building our water filter. We know exactly what we need to do. We are still waiting for Mr. Verkaik to give us our materials. He said the latest it will come in is Monday, April 30. As I said we are still looking for other ways to modify our water filter. We have found a few other ways to make it different, but we are not sure if it will work. Our group is still researching many other things that have to do with our topic. As we are doing this, we have found many other water filters and different ways we could build them. We decided we will go with the Solar Still. This will filter dirty polluted water.
As week 3 is here, I have been doing great. I have turned in all my assignments for my project. It has been going great for me and I’m enjoying this project. I think it is better than having normal schedule. This is my opinion though. Other people may think it is a bad idea, but I personally think it is pretty fun. I am excited to get started on building. This has been a great week and I look forward to starting week 4.

  1. That is a great idea to find other solutions to PVC pipe. It is true that if Africans do not have the supplies that this may not be a great solution to solve this problem. Supplies are a major factor to this whole project. I am pretty sure that our group supplies are pretty simple. I can not wait to build it either! Plus, good job on turning all of your work in. That way you can stay in our group. This is a fun project, and looks like you are having a great time trying to solve it.
