Separating Mixtures
Mixing sulphur and iron...
...how could you separate this mixture?
Separating Mixtures
Do not put magnetic directly on iron
Hold the magnet below the Petri dish
Sulphur + Iron mixture

Separating Mixtures
You’re stranded on a desert island surrounded by sea
water, sadly your science teacher is lost at sea but luckily
all your science equipment has washed up...
...how could you separate a mixture of sand, salt and
water to get drinking water?
Goal: to extract clean fresh water
Come up with a plan, you will need:
- A list of equipment
- A series of steps
You should be able to explain your reasoning
for each step, use your science knowledge!
You have 10 minutes

Separating Mixtures - Liquids
How could we separate a mixture of water and
alcohol?
Alcohol boils at 78C
Water boils at ? C
If you heated a mixture of water and alcohol which
would boil first?
Separating Mixtures - Liquids
How could we prove we have
separated the water and alcohol?
Separating Mixtures: Centrifuging
