Problem Analysis:
The task is to label a diagram that shows the process of separating a mixture of
rice, sand, and paper clips using specific tools:
magnet,
large sieve, and
small sieve. The goal is to identify which tool corresponds to each step in the separation process.
Key Concepts:
1.
Paper clips: These are magnetic and can be separated using a magnet.
2.
Rice: This is larger than sand and can be separated using a
large sieve.
3.
Sand: This is smaller than rice and can be separated using a
small sieve.
Step-by-Step Solution:
#### 1.
Magnet (Paper Clips)
- Paper clips are magnetic, so they can be separated from the mixture using a magnet.
- In the diagram, the magnet is shown attracting some objects. These objects must be the paper clips.
- Label the box connected to the magnet as
"Paper clips".
#### 2.
Large Sieve (Rice)
- Rice is larger than sand, so it can be separated using a large sieve.
- The diagram shows a container with a mixture being poured into a large sieve. The material that remains in the sieve after sieving must be rice.
- Label the box connected to the large sieve as
"Rice".
#### 3.
Small Sieve (Sand)
- Sand is smaller than rice, so it can be separated using a small sieve.
- After passing through the large sieve, the remaining material (sand) will be further separated using a small sieve.
- Label the box connected to the small sieve as
"Sand".
Final Labels:
- The magnet attracts
paper clips, so label the box connected to the magnet as
"Paper clips".
- The large sieve retains
rice, so label the box connected to the large sieve as
"Rice".
- The small sieve retains
sand, so label the box connected to the small sieve as
"Sand".
Labeled Diagram:
1. Magnet →
Paper clips
2. Large sieve →
Rice
3. Small sieve →
Sand
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\text{Magnet: Paper clips, Large sieve: Rice, Small sieve: Sand}
}
\]
