Study Notes
- Mixtures are two or more materials mixed together.
- Mixtures can be separated in four methods.
Separation Methods
- Using hand: Suitable for separating big pieces; for example, almonds and nuts
- Using sieve: Effective when one component is big and the other is small
- A sieve is a piece of equipment with holes that allows only small things to pass through
- Example include: soil and plant roots, flour and beans
- Using magnet: Use when the mixture contains metals; for example, iron and soil.
- Magnetic materials are attracted to magnets, such as iron and steel.
- Non-magnetic materials are not attracted to magnets, such as aluminum and copper.
- When materials are mixed, each material's properties remain unchanged.
- Using filter: Use to separate insoluble solids from liquids; for example, sand and water.
- Insoluble materials do not dissolve in a liquid, such as sand and wood.
