Separating Mixtures - Sand and Salt
1. Disolve the salt in water - sand is not soluable.
2. Use a filter to separate the sand from the water
the sand particles are too big to fit through, while the
salt filters through with the water.
3. Bring water to its boiling point - the water will
evaporate while the salt remains.
Suspension - particles in a suspension will settle out
Major shout out goes to Izzy for going above and beyond!! She took today's lesson and created an awesome video!
