 * Hypothesis:** After freezing the pondwater and filtering it, the pondwater will be bacteria-safe and drinkable. This will happen because we will freeze the bacteria and [|most] of it will die. After we do that we will filter through quantize filter paper and the rest of the bacteria will die.

 * Materials:**


 * Procedure:**


 * 1. Overnight, freeze pond water.**
 * 2. Place treated pond water into a beaker.**
 * 3. Place on bunsen burner and let heat until enough melts to put into a funnel.**
 * 4.** **After heated, filter the treated pond water in a funnel with quantitative filter paper.**
 * 5. Take water out of the beaker and put into the set up funnel, make sure that no water overflows because there will be bacteria**
 * 6. After,** **collect a sample of tap water to use as a control.**
 * 7. When the funneling is done, take a dipstick and wash it under the water.**
 * 8. Use the dropper and put 3 drops into the petri dish and spread it around the surface.**
 * 9. Immediately after, seal the petri dishes with para-film and label them**
 * 10. Lastly, compare the now treated pond water, to the original pond water, and the tap water (control).**
