Listen "Making Water Potable"
Episode Synopsis
In "Do Sumthin!" podcast, host Jodi Lee engages listeners with an educational and fun project of building a solar desalination still at home. An excellent activity for kids to learn about solar energy, the water cycle, and desalination, this DIY science experiment involves accessible household items such as a shallow container, plastic wrap, a small cup, saltwater, and a weight. The episode walks through step-by-step instructions on setting up the experiment and emphasizing the importance of patience and observation as the sun's heat initiates the desalination process.
