 * 1) ​​ Write all of your names at the top. Colin, Kc, Kourtney , and Sam
 * 2) Write up the list of materials you used. Strainer, funnel, ph strips, gravel, charcoal, and sand
 * 3) Write up the actual steps you performed to clean the water.
 * 4) Write up your observations. Be very specific as to what the water looked and smelled like after each step! 1) the water was murky and green. you couldnt even see your hand at the otrher end of the glass. 2) The dirt and trash in the water started to clump up and the water started to clear up. The water got a lot clearer after the first step. 3) we strained the water with a strainer and a piece of filter paper. it came out with a light blue color. 4) then we added the bleach and the color of the water became a light brown. 5) then we added the rocks, sand, and chole in the filter paper. the water was very clear you could see your hand on the other side. 6) We put more bleach in the water in order to make the water even more clear. 7) the water was still, unfortunately a 4. 8) For some strange reason we could not get the water a neutral 7 and drinkable.
 * 5) Answer these questions:
 * 6) What were you not able to remove? We were unable to remove the vinegar to make it a 7. I nstead the water was an unsafe 4.
 * 7) How might you be able to remove it from the sample? We put syrup in the "sludge" to try and make it a 7 but it did not work.
 * 8) How was your treatment process like that of the Sweetwater plant? We would have done just about everything the same to get it a nuetral 7. Instead using a base like syrup, we would have used something else like a lemon.
 * 9) How was your treatment process different? Yes, we wouldn't have used a base to even it out.
