Separating Mixtures Procedure

Step 1: Take out all substances other than water with a spoon, and put them to the side.
Step 2: Pour the water into the beaker.
Step 3: Use the magnet to take out the iron from the other substances. 
Step 5: Put the beaker with water onto the hot plate and plug it in into an outlet.
Step 6: After the water starts to boil you should see the secret ingredient(salt). 
Step 7: Carefully, take your tongs and pick up the hot beaker from the top and put it on the table. Make sure the table is meant of science. The hot beaker can burn plastic.
Step 8: After the liquid cools down, pour it into the graduated cylinder.
Step 9: Put the filter paper on the funnel and pour the water through it into the beaker.
Step 10: By now, you should be able to see the salt for sure.
Step 11: Record all your steps, so that you can share them with your group if they missed any.
Step 12: Clean up! Make sure it's as clean for the next group as it was for you. Try not to break anything!
