The Magical Steps to Seperating Mixtures

Hi, in our class we were asked to seperate gravel, Diatomaceous Earth, and Salt. This is what you need to seporate: Cofee filter, screen filter, four cups, serinze, water, and evaporation cups. These are the steps to seperate these mixtures

  1. Pour the mixture into the screen filter. Don’t add water. You just seperated the gravel.
  2. Add 25 mm of water to the earth and salt. Then pour it into the cofee filter. You just seporated the salt and the earth.
  3. The earth is in the evap. tray and the salt is in the water. The salt turned into a soultion.

Those are the steps to seperation these mixtures.

    Wow! Sounds like an experiment I did in 6th grade, many moons ago. I can’t wait to try it!

    Abby,

    I had my students pick the procedures they thought were easiest to follow from the five different posts. They have done this experiment at least two times, once in fifth grade and again last year in seventh grade. I thought they would have good background knowledge to make a good evaluation.

    Why do you think that the students did not choose your post?
