Can water ever be perfectly pure?

What Crafty Clover says in this video

Intro

Hi there, curious minds! I'm Crafty Clover! Let's discover something amazing. Can water ever be perfectly pure?

The Big Idea

Is there such a thing as perfectly pure water? It's very hard to make. Let's see why.

In the Lab

Step one: In the Lab. In a lab, scientists can make water that is extremely close to pure H2O. Ultra-pure water is used to make computer chips.

In Nature

Step two: In Nature. In nature, water dissolves and carries bits of everything it touches, like minerals, gases, and tiny particles. Even rain picks up dust and gases from the air as it falls.

The Goal

Step three: The Goal. Totally pure water is not best for drinking, since our bodies get some minerals from water. The goal is water that's clean and safe, not perfect.

A Closer Look

Let's take a closer look! Dissolved. Mixed in. Tiny bits. In rain.

Quick Facts

Quick facts! Ultra-pure water is used to make computer chips. Rain isn't pure. Water dissolves minerals. Safe beats perfect.

Think Like a Scientist

Now, think like a scientist! Pour each water through its own coffee filter. Let the filters dry. Compare the grit left on each. Don't drink them. Which had the most grit?

Outro

Scientists can make water extremely close to pure H2O in a lab, but in nature water carries minerals, gases, and particles, and even rain picks up dust. Totally pure water isn't best for drinking, so the goal is clean and safe, not perfect. Science is amazing! Keep asking questions!
