As students learn about water in their science lessons, they also learn about the human need for clean and safe drinking water and the consequential need for environmental engineers to ensure water quality.

This unit addresses the increasingly important issue of water quality through lessons that teach students about water contamination and the ways that people ensure the quality of their drinking water. Students plan, construct, test, and improve their own water filters.
