The Big Stink Investigation

Today, Year 5 learnt about The Big Stink of 1858, London.

We then were given 'sewage water' (a horrible mixture of water, bread flour, brown rice, brown pasta and Maltesers) to try to make as pure as possible by filtering out as much as we could, using sieves, funnels and filter paper.

We took photos at the different stages of filtering, which you can see below.
