20 Time Check In: The Idea Comes!

     Hello again! I have learned a lot about water filters in these past two weeks. I have a basic idea on what to do now. Through my research, I have found out that a charcoal filter is one of the easiest and most effective ways to filter water. However, microorganisms can still pass through the filter. I will solve this problem by using a solar heater to heat the water to ensure that it is pathogen free.
     I have learned a lot about myself. I am very passionate about this topic. I have found myself doing research out of class for this project. It shows that I am very committed to doing this.
     One of my main setbacks for this project is finding the material that I need to use at a cheap price, or perhaps better. I am solving this by going through my family's recycling and checking to see if anything can be used for my project. Using this method, I have come up with the materials for my main filter. I just need charcoal to complete. I have yet to find materials for my solar heater though.
     My next steps involve finalizing my building plans and perhaps starting to build my actual filter and solar heater. I have had some setbacks, but I have been resilient and have managed to overcome them. I have applied this resiliency to my school work as well.
   Thanks for reading :)
