I am interested in figuring out a way to desalinate water in a cheap and effective manner. Are there any materials that are be found in a common household that can be used?

Hi,

This is a great topic for a science fair project. There are two project ideas on the Science Buddies website that should help you get started with your background reading and experiment design.
