For the water project, we were supposed to do a test involving the filtration of water. Whether it was testing different filters, creating a filter, or discovering unique filters, the purpose was to filter water. For our project, we tested 3 different water filters. The Lifestraw, the Refresh2Go, and the Brita Filter. We wanted to decide which one was the best choice for poor or undeveloped countries based on different criteria. We tested pH because a lower pH means the filter cleaned it better because of the chemicals in it. We also compared taste, reliability, lifetime, how easy each was to use, and price.
After comparing everything (see results in slideshow) we decided the the Brita Filter was the best choice. Not only did it have the cleanest water, but it was the easiest to use and the pros outweighed any cons the most; compared to the other filters.

Reflection:
Overall, I felt this project went well. While it was difficult because of the timing, we were able to have a clear goal and reach it. As a group we worked really well, for the days we were all there. School testing meant that half the time only 2 people in the group were present and I feel our communication could have been better considering that.
Two things we could definitely improve on as a group would be communication and involvement. Our communication was not strong on who should be doing what on the days not everyone was present. I also feel that because of testing it made it more okay to slack off and not everyone in the group was involved in the process as they should have been.
Two things our group did well on was presentation of information and being understanding. We had a well formatted slideshow with lots of visuals. We also were all understanding of everyone having other things they needed to tend to during the busy weeks.
