A student has a mixture of sand and gravel that needs separating. The student pours the mixture through a filter. The sand and gravel both get stuck in the filter and do not separate. Which action should the student take to separate the mixture successfully?

• Sifting; the smaller sand will fall through the sifter, and the larger gravel will stay in the sifter.

• Evaporation; the sand will evaporate, and the gravel will stay in the container.

• Flotation; the gravel will float on the top of the water, and the sand will sink to the bottom.

• Magnetic attraction; the gravel will stick to a magnet, and the sand will stay in the container.

Humans use plastic products and produce large quantities of plastic waste. This waste ends up in landfills and oceans, causing further harm to the environment.

• gathering and burning the plastic waste twice a year

• replacing plastic with materials that naturally break down to form soil

• making new plastic products from stronger plastic

• storing plastic waste in large containers above ground
