If you will be asked to separate the whole black pepper from the salt, will it be possible? Why?
The sand and clay when you mix together with dead plants make up a fertile soil. Did the materials change their properties when they were put together?
3. Abstraction
From the activities you had made, what happened to the solids when they were mixed with other solids? Did their properties change?
4. Application
