We used a funnel, leading into a graduated cylinder with filter paper in the funnel. We poured the water into the funnel with the filter paper to absorb/sift out the oil and the solid particles.
 * 1) get a grad. Cylinder and filter paper
 * 2) put filter paper in funnel.
 * 3) Put funnel in grad cylinder
 * 4) Pour dirty water in funnel with filter paper
 * 5) Wait for no more dirty water to be in filter/funnel
 * 6) Obtain 10 mL of sand
 * 7) Put sand in funnel with filter
 * 8) Pour liquid
 * 9) Wait for the water to filter through
 * 10) Obtain 1 spoonful of charcol
 * 11) Pour water in funnel with filter
 * 12) Wait for water to filter through- should be clear
 * 13) If it is not completely clear (you can tell by holding up a piece of filter paper to the water, behind the grad cylinder- if you can completely see the white, its clear) if not, follow these steps:
 * 14) Obtain one spoonful of charcoal
 * 15) Put charcoal in filter paper in the funnel
 * 16) Repour the water into the funnel.
 * 17) It should now be completely clear
 * 18) Distillation of Water

Steps 1-4/5: Day 1 On day one we started cleaning our water. We got a graduated cylinder, a funnel, and filter paper. We placed the filter paper int he funnel which lead into the graduated cylinder, at the top of the funnel we poured in the mixture of water and other various chemicals. The filter paper was used to filter out the solids that we could visibly see( which was assumed to be dirt), and it also was used to take out the oils when all the water was filtered out. This process took a long time, but it did increase the quality, as it was clearer, free of oils, and free of solids sitting at the bottom of the mixture. Steps 5-9: Day 2 On day two We decided to do almost the same process again, but we added sand into the filter. We placed a funnel in a graduated cylinder, added filter paper into the funnel, and poured in some sand. We hoped that by doing so, the sand would absorb some of the chemicals and the odor, which it did, but only slightly. The sand didn't work to the potential that we expected as it didn't improve the condition of the water by that much, but it was worth a try. Steps 10-13(4): Day 3 After doing some research on the internet, we decided to try adding charcoal into the filter paper this time. Once again, we put a funnel into a graduated cylinder, and added the filter paper into the funnel, scooping charcoal into the filter paper. We believed the charcoal would wipe out most of the smell, and eventually turn our water clear. We attempted this once, and it significantly increased the quality of our water-mixture. It wasn't entirely clear yet, so we decided to run the water through the filter paper and charcoal once more, leaving us with clear water, but we knew this was not the last step, as the water needed to be distilled so we would be left with entirely pure water. Step 14: Day 4. On day four we decided to use the process of distillation, with the aid of Mr. Nilsen's equipment. He poured the water into a small bottle, which was then heated over a bunsen burner. As the water boiled, it rose and the steam fell into a tube, which was inside another tube which had running water going through it which would cool off the steam, causing it to drip down into the bottle that was used to collect the pure water. This was a success, because now the bacteria, and remaining chemicals in the water were removed and left in the bottle that had the boiling water in it. There was also a hole on the tube to release some of the steam if the pressure built up enough, but luckily it didn't. The water we now had was completely pure.

How do you collect steam from boiling water? Heat with tube, have tube get attached to another container to keep the condensed steam
