Integrated ScienceMatter & MaterialsAges 11–12

Choose a mixture (sand–water, salt–water, cooking oil–water, ethanol–water, or muddy water) and a separation method, watch the process play out, then check the result: fully separated, only partly separated, or not separated at all, and why. Students can switch methods right on the toolbar to find the one that fits the substances' properties.
