The hypothesis could be proven. If water is filtered through a pine dowel, then this permeable wood will filter the impurities out of the water through the process of osmosis. The water will pass through leaving the impurities behind. This experiment did prove the hypothesis however, it may have worked better if more time was allowed for most of the water to go completely through the wood, if the wood were less dense, and if the dirt in the water wasn’t so fine. In my experiment I observed that some water and dye did soak completely through the wood, but only a few drops of water came through into the bottom chamber. The wood was stained by the dye so I can see that some of the dye would have been removed and stuck in the wood. The dense dry
