Based on the information provided, Willa is most likely studying a colloid. In a colloid, particles are larger than those in a solution and they do not settle out. When attempting to filter a colloid, the particles are too small and pass through the filter. Additionally, when light is passed through a colloid, it is scattered due to the presence of suspended particles.
