Worksheet Overview

Now, in your science lessons you've already experimented with methods of separation like filtering (filtration), sieving, using a magnet, evaporation and so on.

 

Filtration

 

You probably know that when things are separated from each other, the order in which you do the steps is very important, otherwise the experiment won't work properly.

 

This activity gives you the chance to try this out without making a mess in real life, so you can always go back and try again!
