This activity shows students how to make fresh water from salt water. Some sort of instruction about why fresh water is so important to life should be included as well, but this activity is a nice add-on to regular life science or earth science lessons because it allows students to see science at work. This activity is not very educational without discussions of the differences between salt and fresh water and the content of earth's water.
