You will need: * 2 balloons
* oil
* water
* a big tub filled with water
* (optional) sharpie marker
* (optional) dish soap
Directions: 
1. Fill one balloon with water and one balloon with oil. (To make it even more dramatic, use dish soap instead of water!) I used 12 inch balloons and only put about 1/4 cup of liquid in the balloons so they are less likely to break!
2. Draw sharks on your balloons
3- Place both balloons in the tub of water and see which floats!

The filter is like a fishes gills. Pretend that the coffee in the water was oxygen. Oxygen is what we breathe and need to live. So when the water goes through a fishes gills, it gets caught. 
We will do this in our table mate groups.
