Science - Separating materials!

Year 6 had lots of fun this morning carrying out an experiment in Science! The aim was to separate a variety of different materials from a liquid. The children were given a bottle of cold coffee in which several materials had been added such as; paper clips, a tea bag, rice, raisins and plastic. They had to select the appropriate equipment and method required to separate each material.
They experimented with a variety of methods including filtering and sieving. Magnets were also used to remove the paper clips from the liquid, which the children very much enjoyed!
