Separating Mixtures - Video Examples Sheet (Filtration, Distillation, Magnet...)

Students watch four videos that showcase an example of mixture separation and describe the type of mixture being separated and which method is being used to separate the mixture (Distillation, Filtration, Magnetism, Evaporation).

You can also choose different videos. I chose these for high-engagement and to showcase why we discuss mixture separation in the first place.

Full sheet included, or a shorter half-sheet condensed version. Google slides editable and printable.
