Question

Which of the following best describes how a filter can be used to sort materials?

1. Filters allow objects that are less than a specific size to pass through, which lets you sort a mixture. This assumes that the sizes of each component are different and do not overlap.

2. Filters catch large objects, so filters can be used to sort out large components of mixtures.


3. Filters never help you sort mixtures because different components can all be the same or similar sizes.


4. Filters allow objects of a certain size to pass through, so if you know the size or size range of a certain component in a mixture, you can pass the entire mixture through a filter and sort out the component in that size range.

Answer 1
