 * 1) Write up the list of materials you used Strainer, funnel, ph strips, gravel, charcoal, and sand, glucose strips, filter paper
 * 2) Write up the actual steps you performed to clean the water. To clean the water, first we did the observations and the starting tests, we put some bleach in then we stired up, added alum then we first fitlered it and some of the disgusting stuff came out. Then we filtered it through charcoal and sand. Then we had to filter it with filter paper and the funnel  to get the rest of the stuff out.
 * 3) Write up your observations. Be very specific as to what the water looked and smelled like after each step! The first thing we saw, was that when we disenfected with bleach it got aot lighter. We also noticed that it smelled strongly of vinegar hing together, there wasnt that much of a change. When we added the alum, it all clumped together. When we filtered it a couple of times, the trash was taken out, but the oil still stayed in. We kept filtering it, but none of the oil got out. It still smelled like vinegar at the end, so we probably didn't get all of the vinegar out.
 * 4) Answer these questions:
 * 5) What were you not able to remove? We were not able to remove the oil and viniger. most of the oil and the food coloring and vinigar.
 * 6) How was your treatment process like that of the Sweetwater plant? we took dirty water and filtered it until it was drinkable (but ours was not) we had chemicals that were suposed to do the same type of things to. we had the same objective.
 * 7) How was your treatment process different? We did not have the same technology and therefore it stayed mostly dirty. we did not have the most of the bacteria and the diffrent types of chemicals to clean the water so the water stayed dirty.
