Water on the moon - Filtering 'lunar ice cores' to extract water
In this set of three activities, pupils will spend a day recording how much water a person uses in an average day, followed by an experimental activity where they will use ‘lunar ice cores’ and filter them to get water. Through these activities, pupils will learn how a filtration system can be used to separate...
