A mixture of clay and water is a physical and not a chemical mixture. Physical means will separate them, and the easiest way to do that is probably just to filter the mixture. The water will pass through an appropriate filter, and the clay will remain. Use three or four coffee filters together and pretty much only some dissolved materials will come through with the water. This will leave the clay behind. Spread out the clay, and it will finish drying by itself.
You could place the sugar-clay mixture in a wire-mesh sieve, and rinse the mixture with water to dissolve the sugar and remove it from the clay. You would need to do this over a container that would collect the sugar water. Once the sugar is completely dissolved, you could evaporate the water from the sugar water, leaving the sugar behind. The clay would be left behind in the sieve.
Methods: distillation, filtration, sedimentation, centrifugation.
Filtration would be by far the easiest and simplest method. The sand will stay on the the filter paper/filter and the water will pass through. Then allow the sand to dry.
1. Filter the water
or
2. Boil the water
We did an experiment like this in my science. You could use a coffee filter. That's what I did, and it worked.
You can use filtration or distillation.
Simply,just get a filter paper add this mixture and as sand is insoluble in water it will be collected in the filter paper as a residue (it will not pass).However the water will pass as a filtrate so we can now take these two separately
Water and Boiling Water
no just put it in a filter paper cone resting in a beaker (make sure it doesn't touch the bottom) and all the wate will slowly drip out and you'll be left with water in a beaker and sand in the cone No, since they are different state of matter. by the process of filtration you can able to separate it. But if you mean to thoroughly separate it maybe, with the use of another method like the process of drying. I'm not sure about the name of the method but I hope somhow it would hepl.
Dizzolvation
Add water, separate the water from the sand. Let the water evaporate.
Settle it and pour off the water, or simply filter the sand out of the water.
If you dissolve the salt and the sand in water the sand will stay beind and the salt would dissappear. But if you want the salt back you can evaporate it off, by boiling the water. (with the dissolved salt in it)
Separating the nails from the sand is to use a magnet. This works .... and water in a sealed jar, the sand spreads through the water ...... to be crushed to a fine powder before the copper ore.
The simplest method is filtering using an adequate filter.
Via filtration method using filter paper or strainer.
get a strainer to get the sand out silly :)

You can separate them by filtration and it would help because when you add water the sand would stay because you would have to add cold water so that the sand will stay and the salt will go through.
A simple filter would be suitable for separating sand and water. An alternative would be to evaporate the water, leaving the sand behind.
In solution, the salt will be dissolved in the water, the sand and iron will settle to the bottom of the container. Separate out the water, evaporate the water and the salt will remain, separate the sand and iron filings with a magnet.
