Bintaro Lama Field Trip

Hi I went on a field to Bintaro Lama. We went in groups I was with Michelle Layanto and Sara Kausar. We went to stages 1,3 and 5.

In stage 1 we learnt about Filtration and how they clean their water. They have this big blue bucket and inside it there are small rocks. When the water is clean they don't use it to drink or to cook with it's actually used to take a bath.

In stage 3 we learnt how to clean the water bottle. This is the steps to clean it first

you wash the inside of the water bottle with soap next the outside with soap and then then the mouth part with soap. Next you wash it with water and rinse the inside and wash the mouth part again then fill the water bottle with water. Then you put it in the sun for about six hours and if the day is not sunny or it's going to rain then put it out for two

days. Then we get to try doing it.

In stage 5 we learnt about turbidity. I learnt that if you put the water in the turbidity meter you can see from the side that the water is totally clean but if you look in the turbidity meter if you can see the black X in the bottom that means that the water is clean but if you can't that means the water is dirty. Then we test it with a machine you put it in the water and if it says a number that is below a seven it is not safe to drink well

seven is safe to drink. In the PH scale 0 is Most acidic 7 is like safe to drink and 14 is Most basic.

This is what we learnt during that field trip it was fun you get to learn a lot of new things and from the Water Treatment I learnt new stuff too but going to Bintaro Lama is more interesting to me.
