In the previous activity we mixed two liquids (water and oil) and learned that sometimes amixture of two liquids can be separated by decanting. Separating mixtures In the next section we will summarise all the dierent ways of separating mixtures. We have made dierent mixtures and tried to separate them using avariety of methods. In this section we will revise all these separation methods. ACTIVITY: Separating mixtures INSTRUCTIONS (Part 1) The table on the next page contains pictures of mixtures. 1.
