Science. Sorting out the mess!

In our science this week we have been we have been investigating how different materials can be sorted.

In our craft cupboard a lot of different things had got mixed up and we needed a good sort out!
What could we do?

First we decided to use a magnet to
attract the steel; this extracted all the paper clips.
Next we used a colanderwhich held the lentils but let the rice and salt through.

Finally we used a sieve which held the rice and the salt came through
on it's own!   -   SORTED!!!!!!!
