Separating mixtures

Description

Using clever animation and real-world examples, this video gives viewers a solid grounding in the principles of mixtures, how they can form, and how they can be separated. Starting with everyday tools and materials-including a campfire, sugar, water, and magnets-the program illustrates simple and complex experiments that demonstrate a wide range of mixture separation techniques. Viewers will discover the difference between solvents, solutes, and solutions; the characteristics of suspensions and colloids; and both low- and high-tech methods for separating mixtures, from evaporation and magnetism to paper chromatography and the use of a centrifuge.
