Motivation
Look at the

Have you ever seen these objects?
Look at the

What are those objects?
Winnower
Winnower
Used for
separating grains
from husk after
the process of
Inyourthreshing.
Araling Panlipunan, you
learned about the culture of our
ancestors. Our elders were using
those objects to separate rice
grain to rice husk.

Discussion
Different ways or techniques
in separating mixtures.
Decantation
Evaporation
Filtration
Sieving
Using
Magnet
Decantatio
n
Decantation is the
process of separation
of liquid from solid and
other immiscible (non-
mixing) liquids, by
removing the liquid
layer at the top from
the layer of solid or
liquid below.
This process can also be used to
separate two liquids that do not mix
with each other for e.g., oil and
water.
Evaporatio
n process of
Evaporation is the
the separation of a solid
substance that is dissolved in
water. The application is based
on the fact that solids do not
vaporize easily, whereas liquids
do. On performing evaporation,
the solid substance is left
behind as a residue. It is a
vaporization technique where
the liquid changes into the
gaseous phase and residues on
the surface.
Filtration
Filtration is the
process of
separating an
insoluble solid from
the liquid substance
by allowing the
liquid to pass
through a porous
The porous material is usually
a filter paper. The method of
separation applies only to
suspensions because solute
and colloidal particles are too
small to be retained on the
filter paper. In this process,
the filter paper allows the
liquid to pass through it and
retains the solid particles. The
solid is called the residue,
while the liquid is called the
filtrate.
Sieving
Sieving is as a method in which two or more
components of different sizes are separated from a
mixture on the basis of the difference in their sizes
which uses a sieve.
Using
Magnet
Components of mixtures
can be separated in many
ways. The method that is
being used usually depends on
the type of mixture. Metal and
non-metal objects can be
separated by using a magnet.
There is no chemical reaction
involved in the separation of
components.
Metals which are made up alloy, nickel, or cobalt
are easily attracted to the magnet, while non-metals
are not. Iron fillings, thumb tacks, staple wire, pins,
coins, and needle are some common examples of
objects that are attracted to the magnet.
When they mixed
with non-metals,
these could be
separated by
magnet.
With the help of different techniques, we
can now separate mixtures easily.
What are the different techniques that we can
apply in separating mixtures?

birthday of your cousin. You found
out that the flour you will be using
mixed up with some dried seeds.
