Method

1. Place the salt given to you and a spatula of sand
   in a beaker with 15ml of warm water
2. Fold filter paper in to quarters and place in the

• Example
• The salt and sand were separated
• The filter paper ..
• The salt passed through the filter paper and
  collected in
• We collected g of salt
