Separating Mixtures
by Anonymous
Choose a sieve, magnet, filter, or evaporation and watch the particles split into two bowls, discovering which property makes the separation work.
About this app
Separating Mixtures is an interactive elementary science app about choosing the right way to separate common mixtures. Explore sieving, magnetism, filtration, and evaporation, then compare material properties and test your understanding in a challenge quiz. Examples include beans with millet, gravel with sand, iron filings with paper clips, and salt dissolved in water.
