Study Notes
Separating Mixtures by Hand
- Mixtures like seeds can be separated manually through techniques such as picking.
- Properties aiding separation include color and size of particles.
- Example seeds include atis, squash, mung beans, and corn.
Filtration
- Filtration separates small solid particles from liquids.
- Involves pouring a mixture through filtering materials (e.g., cloth, filter paper).
- The filtering material captures solid particles while allowing liquid (e.g., water) to flow through.
Sieving
- Sieving separates solids based on size or large particle-liquid mixtures.
- Utilizes tools like sieves or strainers to sort materials.
- Larger solid particles are retained in the sieve, while smaller particles or liquids pass through.
