Separation Workshop

Mixture components retain properties that enable separation; a valid process matches tools to those properties while conserving every component and reporting yield separately from purity.

What your child will figure out

  • Choose sieving and magnetism for dry components with different size and magnetic properties.
  • Distinguish suspended particles that settle/filter from dissolved solute that stays distributed and passes through a filter.
  • Recover both solute and solvent using a closed evaporation and condensation process.
  • Build and audit a multi-step process using component conservation, yield, and purity evidence.

The levels

  1. Mix bench

    Freely combine components while the conserved ledger remains visible.

  2. Big, small, magnetic

    Recover beads and iron from a dry mixture while comparing yield with purity.

  3. Settled or dissolved?

    Observe settling at particle scale, then filter suspended sand while dissolved salt passes.

  4. Recover the invisible

    Recover both salt and water with a closed condenser station.

  5. Build the workshop

    Recover beads, iron, oil, sand, salt, and water through a complete audited line.
