1. Add water to the
salt and sand mixture. |

2. Shake well
until the salt dissolves. |
The sand does not dissolve. |

3. Use the filter paper
and the funnel to filter into the beaker. |
The salt solution passes
through the paper. The sand remains behind on the paper. |

4. Put the salt solution
in the crucible or the evaporating basin and heat with the bunsen
burner. |
The water is evaporated. White
salt crystals will be left behind. |

sand by carefully heating the wet filter paper. |
