Define: The problem that I decided to tackle was sea levels rising. The rising sea levels is a really bad problem for humanity and the environment and the animals that live in it. My solution to this problem was making storage tanks that contain any water that rises to a certain level. It then cleans it and then dispenses it into buckets for people that are thirsty or need water for something else. I think it is a great solution because not only does it help with rising sea levels. it also helps people who require clean water, thus killing two birds with one stone.

Discover: I learned that the process of cleaning sea water is known as “desalination” and is used commonly more and more around the world. this is usually done by boiling the water and thus removing any bacteria or types of germs and salts in it. This will make it pure and ready to drink. I have also learned that water tanks are already real things. But I still made them work in other ways than just storing water.

Debrief: My only problem was that I didn’t have many ideas for the discover part. I had no idea what questions to ask or what to research. The rest of my project went pretty smoothly.
