Mixture #1 This mixture is made up of Iron Fillings, Salt, and Fine-Grained Sand.You will need to use the equipment on the equipment shelf in order to separate the mixture. Before you start you should brainstorm the properties of each of the materials that you can take advantage of. What are the properties of these materials you will use to complete your separation? Complete the separation As you complete the separation make sure you are paying attention to the order that you complete the steps in because you need to write it down! What was your first step and what did you remove? What was your second step and what did it remove? What was your third step and what did it remove? What was your fourth step and what did it remove?
