  • What is filtering?
    Filtering is a method used to separate mixtures of a solid and liquid. A filter works like a sieve. A filter separates soluble and insoluble substances. It has tiny holes that let through very small particles but not bigger particles
  • The liquid and the soluble substances dissolved in the liquid pass through the holes.
  • Insoluble solid particles are too big to pass through and stay behind.
  • wetland - a place that covered in shadow water most of the time
  • In a filter, very small particles pass through tiny holes in the filter, but bigger particles cannot pass through
  • Filtering separates insoluble solids from liquids in mixtures.
