What do you think
will happen to the
things around us if
separating mixture
 Solid to Solid Mixtures
a. Hand picking or
physical
manipulation is the
technique used in
separating the solid
component of a
 Solid to Solid Mixtures
The component
of mixture
should be big
enough to be
seen and picked
 Solid to Solid Mixtures
b. Sieving is used
when two or more
components of
different sizes are
separated from a
mixtures.
 Solid to Solid Mixtures

This involves the

use of strainer or
big screen to
separate the
components.
Solid to Solid Mixtures

c. Mixture of
metals and
nonmetals could
be separated
Solid to liquid Mixtures
Evaporation is a
technique of
separating soluble
solid from liquid
through heating like
 Solid to liquid Mixtures
Filtration is a
technique used to
separate insoluble solid
from liquid with the
used of a cloth or filter
paper. Like the mixture
 Solid to liquid Mixtures
Decantation is a
technique in
separating a less
dense substance from
a dense one. In the
process of
 Solid to liquid Mixtures
When the
components are
separated, the less
dense substance can
be removed by slowly
pouring out the less
 Solid to liquid Mixtures
The oil and the
water could
removed using
the decantation
technique.
Identify what techniques
should be used to
separate the following
mixtures

depend on the type or kind of mixture you
have. Solid to solid mixtures can be
