HOW TO SEPARATE NATURAL MATERIALS                                                                           Learn how to separate different materials using these simple instructions.

YOU WILL NEED;   

1. Sand
2. Pipette
3. Salt
4. Stones
5. Containers (for holding the items as well as separating them)
6. Rice
7. Funnel
8. Beakers
9. Sieve
10. Water

                                                                                   METHOD

• Firstly, grab a bowl.
• Secondly, pour the sand, salt, rice and stones into the bowl and mix them together thoroughly, adding  more of the ingredients if needed.
• Once all of your ingredients are thoroughly mixed, fill a cup with the mixture. This will be the amount that you separate.
• Then, take the stones out of the cup and place it into a clean, dry container. 
•  Now, pour your remaining mixture into the sieve and shake well above another container until all of the sand has fallen out of the sieve.
• Rinse the rice under a cold tap (whilst it is still in the sieve) until any bits of dirt remaining from the sand has been washed out.
• After you have rinsed the rice, our it into  one of your other containers.
• Now, run fill a container with warm water. Pour the sand into the water. The salt will have dissolved into the water, leaving the sand to sink into the bottom.
• Use the pipette to carefully remove the water into a separate container , leaving the sand in the bottom of the first container. Repeat these steps until the water is clear. (the sand will  stain the water as well as float around, so you have to make sure the water is clear otherwise the next step will not work. )
• Penultimately,  boil the salt water until all of the water has evaporated. Scrape the salt off of the inside of the pan and pour it into the container. 
• Finally, empty the sand into the last container.

                                  There! You have separated all of the ingredients!                                                   

 

hi its Erin…

and to day I will be telling you about, a science  experiment we did.

 

We needed to separate sand, salt, rice, and stone,from each other this is how you do it. 🙂

 

What you need

mixture of salt,sand rocks, and rice,

beakers and stand,

filter paper,

paintbrush,

sieve,

funnel,

plate,

container,

hot water,

pot,

hob,

 

How to make:-)

1. get your mixture and take out  the stones
2. carefully use a pint brush to brush the sand of the stones put the stones to the side.
3. use the sieve to sieve out all the rice from the sand and  put it in a beaker.
4. put the filter paper in the funnel  and put the sand in (the sand will have the salt in it) carefully poor hot water in wait for all the water to filter through do no let the water or sand level go over  the filter paper.
5. repeat step 4 until the water is clear.

 

we didn’t have time to Finnish it so yeah this is what We did. 🙁

 

my partner was Skye.

 

bye. 🙂

 

Hi 😀

On Wednesday we did a science experiment. we were separating stones, rice, sand and salt 🙂 .

We did another experiment again on Monday where we were seeing what things dissolved but im not gonna blog about that yet.

We were working in partners and a group of 3. Me and my partner, Erin, took out the stones first and dusted them with a paintbrush. We took our the rice and started by hand but then separated it a faster way i totally didn’t forget about. (UPDATE- Erin reminded me it was the sieve)
Then we washed the rice and put it in the rice tube. The first few were dusted but then we started washing them. the sieve was a wierd type of sieve which put black stuff in it we got out as well.
After this, we put the sandy salty stuff in a funnel going down to a long plastic tube thingy with filter paper in ti and lots of water. We did this for a while until all the salty water was at the bottom. We had to use two tubes.
We didnt have time to evaporate it at the end but some did and the salt was left over so it worked. 

Bye 😀

 

MATERIALS: Salt,Sand,Rice,Stones,beakers,Sieve,Funnel,Pipette,Containers,Plate,Pot and water.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Firstly pick out all of the stones and place them in a container.

secondly to separate the sand the rice sieve the sand and salt onto a plate.

Next put the rice in a beaker using a funnel. Be careful not to drop anything.

After that get hot water and put it in a container. Put the sand and salt inside of the container containing hot water. Doing this will dissolve the salt and allow the sand and salt to separate.

Penultimately  Separate the sand from the salt water(keep the salt water) Put the sand in a beaker.

Finally put the salt water in a pot boil the saltwater. This will leave a residue the residue will be salt. Funnel the salt into beaker.

KONNICHIWA! Last night the first junior karate awards were given out, and everyone had aced the test, especially Rhona, who got yellow AND orange belt at the same time. I would have got orange belt too, but I messed up at some points during the test. Only 5 people came to karate last night, whereas there were 22 on the first week.

It’s nice to know some people still came, though. BYE!

. get your materials

. testing tube

. filter

. testing tube holder

. plastic tubs

. Siv

. salt

. rocks

. sand

. rice

. water

first separate the rocks with your hands and put a plate under it so you don t  wast your materials.

 

second with the siv separate rice from the salt and sand.

 

third with a tub put the sand and salt in water

 

forth put the salt water in a hot pan

 

firth put the sand in a testing tub

 

sixth put the salt in a testing tub

 

now your done bye

Hi its Jullien and I am going to talk about Friday when we had science and i was in a team with Kohdie and we made a big mess but at the begin, Miss dale mixed rocks,sand,rice,salt and we needed to separate all of that together so the easiest part was the little rocks and the rice but the salt is pretty difficult so we tried to add water into the sand and salt and we putted a coffee filter over a cup and drained the salt water into the cup and if you cook it the salt sticks too the bottom of the pan.

Last Week with Miss Dale we did science and she mixed up sand rocks salt and rice we have to separate them all and put them in to separate jars I was partners with Jullien I am going to show you how we did it

1: Me and Jullien started by getting a cup full of all of the stuff we then put it in hot water for 20 seconds. we then  picked out the rocks and put them in a separate jar.

2:We then found out that we accidentally disintegrated the salt. after that we then got a chive and put the sand and rice on it with hot water

3: we then got all of the rice and left over sand and put them in  separate  glass jars. so we got most of it done with a lot of mess.

Last week in science, Miss Dale mixed together sand, salt, rocks, and rice, and told us we had to separate it into it’s core materials.

1. First, pick out the rocks and put them into a safe place.
2. Secondly, sieve the rice out of the sand and salt.
3. Then, pour the sand/salt into a jug and add some water, this will dissolve the salt.
4. Afterwards, filter the water into a separate jug/tube and get the water out of the sand.
5. Penultimately,  leave the saltwater to evaporate.
6. Finally, place all the materials on the table or wherever you’re doing the experiment.

BYE!

parents please donate your old toy’s you do not play with any more to Holywood school.
