If we need to separate sand and gravel, we simply use the size of the material and a mechanical contraption to do the separating. A screen with mesh of the proper or appropriate dimensions will sieve the particles nicely. The sand will fall through the mesh piling up underneath it, and, if the screen is tilted, the gravel will bounce its way down and off the screen into a separate pile.
Sand and gravel can be separated by sifting them through a mesh, that will allow the sand to fall through, but will hold back the gravel.
With a fine mesh sieve.
To separate sand, gravel, and water, you can use a filtration method. Pour the mixture through a filter such as a sieve or cloth to separate the sand and gravel from the water. The water will pass through while the sand and gravel remain on the filter.
A sieve or a mesh screen can be used to separate sand from gravel. The mixture is poured onto the sieve, and the smaller particles like sand will fall through, while the larger gravel particles will remain on top.

A simple method is sieving.
One method to separate sand and gravel is using a sieve or screen with appropriately sized openings. The mixture can be poured onto the sieve and shaken to allow the smaller sand particles to fall through while the larger gravel particles remain on top.
No, it's a physical change because you can still separate the two from each other.
One way to separate sand from gravel is by using a sieve or screen with appropriately sized mesh openings. Pour the mixture onto the sieve and shake gently to allow the smaller sand particles to fall through while retaining the larger gravel particles. Alternatively, you could use a method called sedimentation - by pouring the mixture into water, the gravel will sink while the sand floats, making it easier to separate them.
Firstly, sift the mixture to separate the gravel from the sand and salt. Now place the sifted mixture into water. The sand will sink to the bottom and the salt will eventually dissolve. Pour this watery mixture through filter paper to catch all of the sand. If you want the salt back in solid form, simply boil the water.
You could use a magnet to separate the iron fillings from the mixture, as iron is magnetic while the other substances are not. Next, you could use water to dissolve the salt, allowing you to separate it from the sand and gravel mixture. Finally, you could use a sieve to separate the remaining sand and gravel mixture based on particle size.
Physical because you are not changing the substance.
