2 methods you can use to separate a mixture of flour and sugar?

1. Sieving:

* How it works: Flour particles are generally smaller than sugar crystals. A sieve with the right mesh size will allow the flour to pass through, leaving the sugar behind.

* Steps:

* Choose a sieve with a mesh size that allows flour to pass through but not sugar.

* Pour the flour and sugar mixture into the sieve.

* Gently shake or tap the sieve, allowing the flour to fall through.

* The sugar will remain in the sieve.

2. Using a Density Difference:

* How it works: Flour and sugar have different densities. Flour is less dense than sugar, meaning it will float on top of the sugar.

* Steps:

* Place the flour and sugar mixture into a container.

* Carefully pour water into the container until the flour floats to the surface.

* The sugar will sink to the bottom of the container.

* Scoop out the floating flour and allow it to dry.

* The sugar can be removed from the bottom of the container and allowed to dry.

Important Note: Both methods will work best with dry flour and sugar. If the mixture is damp, it may be more difficult to separate.
