5-8 You have learned that mixtures can either be homogenous or heterogenous depending on their appearance and the composition of materials. In this lesson you are expected to demonstrate understanding of the different techniques in separating mixtures such as decantation, evapora- tion, filtering, sieving and using magnet. Examine Figure 1 below. There are ways by which mixtures must be separated to make them available and help us in our daily activities. What are some benefits that we can derive from the different mixtures around us? In what ways can these mixtures be separated to make them useful in our daily life? ​
