‭Due‬‭Monday‬‭:‬ ‭The‬‭following‬‭are‬‭due‬‭from‬‭each‬‭student,‬‭on‬‭loose‬‭leaf:‬ ‭STAPLE‬‭to‬‭lab‬‭paper!‬
‭1.‬‭Materials‬‭List:‬‭List‬‭all‬‭materials‬‭used‬‭by‬‭your‬‭lab‬‭group‬‭to‬‭separate‬‭the‬‭mixture.‬
‭2.‬‭Procedure:‬ ‭Make‬‭a‬‭numbered‬‭list‬‭of‬‭the‬‭steps‬‭taken‬‭by‬‭your‬‭group‬‭to‬‭separate‬‭the‬‭mixture.‬
‭3.‬‭Questions:‬ ‭Answer‬‭the‬‭following‬‭questions‬‭in‬‭complete‬‭sentences.‬
‭1.‬‭Were‬‭you‬‭able‬‭to‬‭successfully‬‭separate‬‭all‬‭four‬‭components‬‭of‬‭the‬‭mixture?‬‭Explain.‬
‭2.‬‭For‬‭each‬‭of‬‭the‬‭four‬‭components,‬‭salt,‬‭sand,‬‭rocks‬‭and‬‭iron‬‭filings,‬‭describe‬‭how‬‭you‬
‭separated‬‭it‬‭from‬‭the‬‭mixture.‬ ‭Be‬‭sure‬‭to‬‭include‬‭a‬‭specific‬‭physical‬‭property‬‭which‬‭would‬
‭allow‬‭it‬‭to‬‭be‬‭separated‬‭from‬‭the‬‭rest‬‭of‬‭the‬‭mixture.‬
‭3.‬‭Make‬‭a‬‭flow‬‭chart‬‭(like‬‭the‬‭one‬‭below)‬‭of‬‭the‬‭most‬‭important‬‭steps‬‭required‬‭to‬‭separate‬‭the‬
‭mixture.‬ ‭Try‬‭to‬‭use‬‭the‬‭fewest‬‭number‬‭of‬‭steps‬‭possible,‬‭and‬‭be‬‭sure‬‭to‬‭put‬‭them‬‭in‬‭order.‬
