Mixture Lab
the remnants
the mixture
In science we made a cool but gross mixture with flour, salt, water, and mulch. We were separating the materials. We used a screen and poured the mix into another cup to remove the mulch. After we poured it, the mulch stayed on the screen. The next day the flour settled on the bottom, and we decided to try and separate the salt from the water. We did this by taking 5mL and put it into a petri dish. After two days the water evaporated and the salt was the only thing left on the petri dish.
