Guiding Question
How can we change the flow of water in a home so that it can be reused?
Image
Youth Will Do
- Engineer a process to filter a limited amount of water so it can be reused for different purposes.

Did You Know
- Many buildings around the world are already piped to use reclaimed water in toilets. Reclaimed means that waste water has been treated or filtered for reuse.

- Criteria
- work in groups
- in/out for all places
- Greywater reuse
- Clay= filter locations
- Constraints
- 5 straws each color
