Cleaning water bottles at Bintaro Lama

Kampung Bintaro Lama-Ms Marrello's house visited a scavenger community called Bintaro Lama. There residents drill their own wells and clean their own water. They use a variety of methods, such as a basic rock, sand, and charcoal filter, displaying water so ultra violet rays of the sun kill bacteria, and also using inexpensive chemicals to remove harmful substances from their water. Ask a student from Ms. Marrello's homeroom, and get the info from the field trip participant.
Water Purification Plant-homeroom Hughes visited a water plant operating on a very large scale, producing almost 5,000 liters of drinking water per second. They as well use sand filters, alum and charcoal to purify the water of the West Tarum canal from unclean, to clean, to drinking standard. Students spent the morning observing the process and should be able to talk about what they've learned. If you know someone from the Q2 homeroom, ask they for an explanation.

Homework-
1) Read 20 minutes from a favorite book.
2) Remember money for the book fair.
