Today we have been looking at separating different sized materials. We had a mixture of rice, buttons and cotton reels.
We separated these materials by using different sized sieves. The sieves only let through it things that are small enough to go through the holes.
We then poured the mixture through the sieve.
As you can see the cotton reels were left. We then sieved the rest of the mixture through a smaller sieve.
I was just beginning to plan some sessions on separating materials for my students who have special needs and autism. This helped me with a starting point. Many thanks.
