SEPARATING SAND FROM SALTY WATER  

Hello, my name is Conor and this is my mate Jonathan.

This is a picture of  us trying to separate sand from salty water.

A funnel , filter paper and a glass jar was the equipment we used.

 We got a glass jar and we filled it up with water  [75 ml full]

We got a funnel and filter paper. We  filled the glass jar with sand and some salt.  

We put the filter paper into the funnel and we poured the sand and salty water into the funnel and the sand got stuck on the filter paper and the salty water went through into the pan.

 

                    SEPARATING  SALT FROM WATER

 

To separate salt from water we had to boil the water. The water evaporated leaving the salt behind in the pan.
