a. Adding a Vocabulary Table
Vocabulary is important for scientists to be able to discuss and share effectively.

- Go to the article for the concept you want to edit.
- Click the Edit icon.
- Go to the vocabulary box.
- Click the button Start Vocabulary Table | ABC.
- Each row is one term. Left is the term. Right is a sentence or question using that term in the context of the concept of the page.
b. Adding Glossary Terms

- Click Add a new entry.
- Enter the Term and Definition. Definitions can be gotten in a formal dictionary, such as dictionary.com (cite the dictionary source dictionary.com cites). You do not need any other information there. You may need to select one best definition or re-word it to match the chemistry usage.
- Submit.
