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.
U can separate salt and iron filings from each other by using a bigger magnet . There are other ways too . You can also put both of the mixture in a cup of water and watch as the salt evaporate or disappear . But the iron filings will come to the top . Or spreading the mixture on a table and using a magnet to separate them .
element
Iron is a ferrous material, and aluminum is non-ferrous. A magnet would separate the two materials as the iron would be attracted to the magnet while the aluminum filings would not. The term ferrous basically refers to any material which contains iron.
First, place the sulfur, sand and iron filings in a plastic container. Next, use a magnet to remove the iron filings from the sulfur-sand mixture and surely,the iron filings will connect to the magnet, leaving the sulfur and sand behind.
To separate a mixture of salt and sand, you can use the method of dissolving the salt in water and then filtering the sand out. If the mixture consists of iron filings instead of salt, you can use a magnet to attract and separate the iron filings from the sand. This method works since iron is magnetic while sand is not.
Sulfur and iron filings together are a mixture.
No, iron filings are not a mixture
It is a mixture

The hypothesis for separating iron filing and sulfur powder using a magnet is that iron is a magnetic material, whereas sulfur is not. By using a magnet, we can separate the iron filings from the sulfur powder based on their magnetic properties.

A mixture of iron filings is homogeneous, meaning it has a uniform composition throughout. This is because iron filings are small particles that mix evenly with each other, leading to a consistent appearance and properties in the mixture.
A mixture of iron filings and sulfur can be easily separated by using a magnet. The iron filings will be attracted to the magnet, leaving the sulfur behind.
A mixture can be separated by physical procedure.
Separating mixture refers to the separation of more than two solutes or solutions.
This can be done by the processs of magnetism. Holding amagent near the mixture will cause the iron filings to be attracted out of the sand.
Iron filings may be pure elemental iron, it depends on the source of the iron.
