What’s in the bucket?
A group of high school students were playing
on the beach and found a small bucket of some
interesting materials. The students found that the
bucket contained a lot of sand but also small nails,
some large broken shells, and some white crystals.
The students wanted to find out what the white
crystals are. Their problem was to separate the
mixture of materials in the bucket down to the
white crystals. They started by picking out the large
white shells by hand. The students draw the
following flowchart to help them work out what to
do next.

Q3. What if the students mixed up the steps and did

STEP 2 instead of STEP 1 to begin their
experiment- how could they fix up their mistakes?
