Separating mixtures

Today in science we have learnt about seperating materials such as: salt,water,sand,flour and scrumptious raw rice! Our secret agent teachers gave use the impposible task of separating the supermarkets mixed goods .To get the staples out of the rice we used a magnet to separate the two materials. Next we separated the sand from the water by poring the water into a funnel with funnel paper leaving the sand on top of the paper. Thirdly we sieved the flour and the raisins to get the flour away from the raisins. Lastly, we had salt and water mixed together. We have placed these somewhere hot and will wait for the water to evaporate.
