Multiple Choice

Which methods can be used to separate mixtures based on physical properties?

Here is a hint. You did THEM yesterday

• Filtration

• Magnetism

• Evaporation

• All of the above

Multiple Choice

Which method can be used to separate oil and water in a mixture, and why does this method work?

• By using a magnet, because oil is magnetic

• By using density differences, because oil and water have different densities

• By evaporation, because oil evaporates faster than water

• By filtration, because oil particles are larger than water particles
