A student stirs a mixture of sand, iron filings, and water and observes that eventually the sand and iron filings sink to the bottom of the container. How can the student separate the mixture?
Slowly pour the mixture into another container, making sure the sand does not flow out with the water. Pick the iron out with tweezers.
Pour the mixture into a pot and heat one minute. Spoon the sand from the water. Use a magnet to remove the iron.
Pour the mixture through a coffee filter, leaving only the sand and iron in the filter. Separate the sand and iron with a magnet.
Use a spoon and scoop out as much sand as possible. Drag a magnet through the water to remove the iron.

3 objects sink and 2 float
2 objects sink and 3 float
4 objects sink and 1 float
1 objects sink and 4 float
Which of the following items would NOT be attracted or repelled by a magnet?

How can salt be removed or separated from a salt water mixture?
Use a strainer to separate the two
boil the mixture, the heat will cause the salt and water to separate
pour more salt until it absorbs the water
Freeze the mixture
Mr. Jones is looking for seashells hidden in the sand on the beach. How could he quickly separate any seashells from the sand?
He could wait for the Sun to heat the sand.
He could pour the sand through a sieve (strainer).
He could use water to absorb the sand.

A cork and a rock are different states of matter.
A cork and a rock are different sizes.
A cork and a rock have different densities.
A cork and a rock have different shapes.
Which mixture could be separated using a magnet?
Pepper and sugar
Pebbles and marbles

A teacher pours 55mL of cooking oil into a graduated cylinder. He then pours in 35 mL of water and lets the mixture sit for 30 minutes.
What will most likely happen to the liquids in the graduated cylinder?
The oil will remain on the bottom because there is more of it.
The oil will rise to the top because it is less dense than water.
The oil will remain on the bottom because it was poured in first.
The oil will mix with the water and form a solution.
