Need Distilled Water?

This week in the Science Lab students will learn what is Distilled Water, and how to make it.  Have you ever looked at the ingredients label on a store bought water bottle?  Well, most bottle water have chemcials in them to either make them more tasteful or added during the purfiication process.  To remove these ingredients you can distill the water.  Distillation involves boiling the water and then condensing the steam into a clean container.  To conduct this experiment, students will wear Safety Goggles and a Lab Apron, and they will also use the Hot Plate, Beaker, a pot and bowl.  Since we are using a Hot Plate, students must be extra careful not to endanger themselves or others.
