It starts with a plastic known as styrene. Liquid or soft styrene has air or gasses forced through it, causing it to expand or foam up. Styrene+ foam= styrofoam. The material gets lighter as it foams up, and later solidifies.

What method would you use to separate marbles and foam balls?

One effective method to separate marbles and foam balls is by using the technique of sieving. Sieving involves passing a mixture of marbles and foam balls through a sieve with appropriately sized holes that allow only one type of object to pass through while retaining the other. By shaking the sieve, the marbles, which are larger and denser, will be retained while the lighter foam balls will pass through. This method takes advantage of the differences in size and density between the marbles and foam balls to achieve separation.
