Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A mixture contains paper clips and wood shavings (after a storm). Which method is best to separate the paper clips from the wood shavings? (Choose the best method.) Use the mixture evidence to choose the best answer. Choose the answer that best matches the diagram and data.

AUse a magnet

BScreening / sieving

CFiltration

DEvaporation

Solution & Explanation:Look for a property that makes one part different: magnetic vs not magnetic, different particle sizes, or solid vs liquid. Here, magnet fits best. Use a magnet to pull out magnetic materials like iron or steel.
