mini science lab pg.61 text

Separate a mechanical mixture by dissolving & filter

Purpose:
In this experiment I will determine how to separate a mechanical mixture of salt and pepper by dissolving and using a filter.

Hypothesis:
If I make a mixture of salt, pepper and warm water and pass it through a paper coffee filter, then I think I will separate...by...

Observations:

Analysis:
answer A,B,C

Conclusion:
what did you learn about separating a mechanical mixture?
how accurate was your hypothesis?

mini science lab prep

Refer to yesterday's science notes on blog about using sieves/filters & dissolving to separate the components of a mechanical mixture.

Bring in a spoonful of salt, a spoonful of pepper, 2 clear plastic cups and a paper coffee filter to conduct the mini lab which involves filtering and dissolving the parts of a mechanical mixture on page 61 of your text.  I'll bring in materials as well.


Refer to your previous science lab to follow the write-up format (purpose, hypothesis...observations, analysis, conclusion)
