How To Drink Sea Water - Desalination

Wow we did an experiment and it worked! What a surprise, science working wow. Hope you learnt some things about desalination, I didn’t really know how they did it before this video so I was interested. Makes sense why everyone doesn’t do it now.

I need to get better at planning how long videos will be because this took way too long to edit lol
