Separating Mixtures and Sequencing Steps: Students identify and number the correct order of steps for two separation methods.

Problem Analysis:

The worksheet asks you to identify the separation methods used in the given scenarios and sequence the steps correctly. Let's solve each part step by step.

Part 1: Separating Mixtures (First Set of Images)

#### Images Description:
1. A person is pouring a mixture from a bucket into a sieve.
2. The mixture is collected in a container after passing through the sieve.
3. The remaining residue is shown on the sieve, indicating that some components were retained.

#### Separation Method:
This process involves using a sieve to separate solid particles based on their size. This is an example of sieving or filtration (specifically mechanical filtration).

#### Sequencing the Steps:
- Step 1: Pour the mixture into the sieve (Image 1).
- Step 2: Collect the filtered liquid or finer particles in a container (Image 2).
- Step 3: Observe the residue left on the sieve (Image 3).

#### Answer:
- Separation method: Sieving/Filtration
- Sequence: Image 1 → Image 2 → Image 3

Part 2: Separating Mixtures (Second Set of Images)

#### Images Description:
1. A jar with a purple substance settled at the bottom and a clear liquid above it.
2. A person is filtering the mixture through a funnel into another container.
3. The resulting clear liquid is shown in a glass.

#### Separation Method:
This process involves separating a mixture based on the density of its components. The denser substance settles at the bottom, and the lighter liquid is poured off. This is an example of decanting combined with filtration.

#### Sequencing the Steps:
- Step 1: Allow the denser substance to settle at the bottom of the container (Image 1).
- Step 2: Carefully pour the lighter liquid through a funnel into another container (Image 2).
- Step 3: The separated clear liquid is collected in a glass (Image 3).

#### Answer:
- Separation method: Decanting + Filtration
- Sequence: Image 1 → Image 2 → Image 3

Final Answer:

1. Separation method: Sieving/Filtration
Sequence: Image 1 → Image 2 → Image 3

2. Separation method: Decanting + Filtration
Sequence: Image 1 → Image 2 → Image 3

Boxed Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{\text{1. Sieving/Filtration; Image 1 → Image 2 → Image 3}}
\]
\[
\boxed{\text{2. Decanting + Filtration; Image 1 → Image 2 → Image 3}}
\]
