| 1. Add water to the salt and sand mixture. |
|
 |
| |
|
|
| 2. Shake well until the salt dissolves. |
The sand does not dissolve. |
 |
| |
|
|
| 3. Use the filter paper and the funnel to filter
into the beaker. |
The salt solution passes through the paper. The
sand remains behind on the paper. |
 |
| |
|
|
| 4. Put the salt solution in the crucible or the
evaporating basin and heat with the bunsen burner. |
The water is evaporated. White salt crystals
will be left behind. |
 |
| |
|
|
| 5. You can dry the sand by carefully heating
the wet filter paper. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| 6. You should now be left with separate piles
of salt and sand. |
