In science class we had to seperate these seven things while they were in a cup, and then right out our  procedure.                                       
Items:                                              Tools:
salt                                                  scissor like grabber
water                                               magnet 
tooth picks                                        spoon  
beans                                               filter 
metal filings                                      graduated  cylinder
sand                                                 beaker
clear oval rock                                  hotplate

Procedure: First we took the scissor like grabber and removed the tooth picks. Then we used the magnet and removed all of the metal filings. Next we used the spoon to remove the beans and clear oval rock. After that we poured the water onto the filter and into the beaker, so we seperated the salt water from the sand. Finally we used the hotplate to evaporate the water and seperate the salt.
