2. Materials Pond water Beakers (Cups) Hot Plate (Fire) Paper Towels (Shirt/Clothes) Cabbage
3. Procedure Collect a good amount of pond water. Use cabbage leaves to make cabbage juice which is the pH indicator. Place leaves in water and boil until it turns dark purple. Test cabbage juice with distilled water and pond water. Let pond water settle for a while so the dirt goes to the bottom. Then collect a sample from the top where dirt is not located.
4. Procedure Use paper towels to filter pond water. Filter at 3 times. Take filtered pond water and set on a hot plate to boil for about 15 minutes While water is boiling hold multiple beakers about to collect evaporated water. Then immediately put another beaker after removal. Continue to do so until a fair amount is collected.
5. Procedure Take the new purified water and test with the cabbage juice. Compare results with the control that was made earlier with the cabbage juice and distilled water. Water is finally purified.
6. Results The evaporation of the water in the cups was a long and tedious job, but in the end purified water was reached in order to maintain an ability of survival. The pH level was close to regular water due to the similarities in colors of the control and the filtered pond water.
