Science
A woman has come upon a pot with a mixture of sand, salt, sawdust, and iron filings in it.
How does she separate the individual substances in this mixture?
She can use a magnet to remove the iron. Then if she adds water to the remaining mixture, all of the sawdust will float to the top where she can scoop it off with a strainer of some sort. The salt will dissolve in the water, but the sand will not. If she pours the water and filters out the sand, she will be left with salt water which she can boil away to leave the salt behind.
