9th and 10th Graders Dive into Water Filtration

Over the course of an intensive, exciting three-day Project-Based Learning (PBL) initiative, our 9th and 10th-grade students stepped out of the traditional classroom setting and into the role of environmental scientists. Their mission? To design, build, and test their very own functional water filtration systems.

Day 1 & 2: The Science of Clean Water

The project kicked off with deep-dive discussions on global water quality, exploring the distinct chemical and biological characteristics of pure vs. impure water.

Once the theory was mastered, students rolled up their sleeves for the engineering phase. Using cylindrical pipes, they carefully layered natural materials to create a physical and chemical purification sequence. Their custom filtration pipes utilized:

Pebbles to catch large debris and sediment.

Sand to filter out finer particulate matter.

Activated Charcoal to chemically bind and remove microscopic impurities and odors.

Field Testing at Balboa Park

On the final day, students took their handmade filtration devices into the field at Balboa Park to put their hard work to the test using real-world water samples.

Our students thoroughly enjoyed the hands-on process of data collection and seeing their designs come to life.

Alive Trip 2026 – Day 4

vths — Fri, 29 May 2026 02:40:39 +0000

The trip moved from the waters of the American Dream Mall to the waters of New York Harbor.

First the day started of with Shacharis and a meeting with Rabbi Y. Y. Jacobson. Then a ride on The Beast to a close up with Lady Liberty. One more restaurant meal couldn’t be missed, so a stop at Mr. Broadway.

The flight home was delayed a bit. But, we expect them to land in LAX not long after midnight (IYH).

ALIVE Trip 2026 – Day 3

vths — Thu, 28 May 2026 03:40:11 +0000

Today was mostly spent at the American Dream Mall. The boys roamed the mall and ate all types of kosher food that you can’t get “out of town.” The Ghermezian family was kind enough to give us tickets to the amusement park. And even more amazing: they reserved the entire water park for just us! Just our 36 boys in the entire water park!

One more day to go. Visit us often to see the latest. Here is there schedule.

Thirty-two girls from the Girls DIvision chose to SHIFT their relationship with technology. They were treated to a sensational, jam-packed trip to San Diego this Sunday thru Tuesday. The activities included: Parasailing, Kayaking, Snorkeling, Biking on Coronado Island, Sunset at Sunset Cliff and more.

ALIVE Trip 2026 – Day 2

vths — Wed, 27 May 2026 05:06:45 +0000

After their first night in NY, the boys woke up and headed off to the Catskill Mountains to spend the day on White Lake boating and having other water fun.

Of course, they ended the day with a grand dinner in a restaurant. But, before that, they stopped for snacks in a kosher gas station near Monroe. “What is a kosher gas station?” you ask. Watch the video.

Most importantly, the boys made a kiddush Hashem. Look at the text Rabbi Semmel received:
