You are preparing your family’s emergency kits in case there is a need to leave your home quickly, or stay in your home without electricity or water. You need to be able to create an emergency supply kit that includes a lightweight water filtration device that is low cost. This will provide you with clean water regardless of your water source.
In this project, you will gain knowledge of natural disaster preparedness through the Red Cross Pillowcase project. You will research and experiment with the water cycle to learn how water is naturally filtered. You will then design and build a water filtration device that could filter water in an emergency situation.

This document is intended to be an activating activity for a study of food and nutrition in 4th grade science. This could be done at the beginning of the unit as a formative assessment to see that students know the difference between food and non-food. It could also be used after some information has been taught to have students classify based on whether the items provide energy for the body to survive, grow, and repair. The document is a Word document and can be used with a Smart Board to allow students to manipulate the pieces.
