Honorable Mentions & How to make a page tab

a gif
On your new blog, learn how to get gifs (see above) and photos imbedded into your blog.
Also, learn how to make new pages with page tabs across the top. You want to post your terms and vocab words on a separate page. Go to Design, Pages, New Page, Name the page "Terms," save, and save arrangement. Also, click 'Show tabs in header.'

Today's honorable blog mentions are:
1. Jilly for her colorful blog background
2. Layla for her diagram of the hydrologic system
3. Merry for her creative story
4. Nora for creating the table shown below aggregating all our foul water data together. (And also for best pun: "It is clear that the carbon step made the clearest water.")
More honorable mentions:
5. Ricardo's drawing and Merry's drawing (see below)



Ricardo's distillation drawing

Merry's distillation drawing

(Who will win mentions tomorrow? Stay tuned.)
Nora's table of 6 lab groups' data for foul water
How can we explain Nora's table? Why did groups Boron and Carbon have less recovered foul water at almost every stage?











How does distillation purify foul water?
Explain the distillation process. How can distillation remove salt from salt water and give us pure, fresh water? How can distillation separate alcohol from water? What do the different boiling points of each liquid have to do with it? What makes liquid change into vapor or gas?
