1. Separating Mixtures Lab
1. Objective:
3. Materials:
Separate a mixture of salt, iron filings, pepper, and sand by each substance’s physical properties.
Funnel
Coffee Filter
Graduated Cylinder
Spoon
Beaker
Magnet
Paper plate
2. Hypothesis:
Iron Filings
How do you predict your group will separate each substance?
Salt
Pepper
Sand

2. Separating Mixtures Lab
4. Procedure:
You and your group will need to come up with a procedure to separate each part of the mixture (yes, it’s possible!!)
Think about what physical properties you could use to separate each substance!
5. Observations:
You will need to draw a picture and list your observations and procedure as you separate each substance.

6. Analysis:
Summarize in detail the results of your experiment.
Describe how you were able to separate the mixture by physical properties.
Were there any unplanned variables? How did they affect your experiment?
How did the results compare to your hypothesis?
