How did you separate the components of the mixtures of iron filings and sand?

You can move a magnet back and forth right above the mixture. The iron filings will get attracted to the magnet and stick to it while the sand will remain in the container. Iron is a magnetic material while sand is not.

How do you explain the process of separating a mixture consisting of iron filings and sand in a plastic bowl?

Here's the full scientific report I had to do in year 7. Title: Magnetic Separation Aim: To separate iron filings from sand using a magnet. Equipment: Magnet, sand and iron filing mixture, plastic bowl Method: 1. Pour the mixture into the plastic bowl 2. Move the magnet slowly through the mixture Results: When the magnet was moved through the mixture, it picked up the iron filings but not the sand. Conclusion: In this experiment we demonstrated that a magnet can pick up iron filings in a sand and iron filing mixture through magnetism. The aim was achieved as we were able to separate the iron filings from the sand.


Separation method for sand and water?

The mixture of and and water is a heterogeneous mixture. There is two steps to separate: Sedimentation: The sand will settle at the bottom of the beaker Decantation: Pour the water slowly out of the container leaving the sand behind. This water is called "supernatant" liquid.
