This is a description of a demonstration water filter. The model is used to show the order of layers, not to make drinking water. Do not drink water from it. Look at the vertical diagram. At the very top, the opening has a funnel, which directs water into the model. The funnel is label one. Below it is a layer of gravel. The gravel is label two. Under the gravel is a layer of sand. Sand is label three. The fourth section contains charcoal. That is label four. Finally, water leaving the bottom of the tube collects in a beaker. The beaker is label five. The funnel, gravel, sand, charcoal and beaker must remain in the order shown. You have two worked examples and three labels to complete independently. Check that each answer contains one word.
