Hot Plate Procedure

 Procedure
1. Take the cup of the seven different objects then pour the water into the funnel into the beaker.
2. In the cup separate the objects that can be separated into groups such as the toothpicks, the pebbles, the clear rock, and the sand.
3. Then you plug in the hot plate and put the beaker on the top of it; let the water sit there till all of the water has evaporated.
4. Take the magnet and hover it over the objects. You will notice pieces of metal filings sticking to the magnet.
5. Once the water has finished evaporating you will notice salt at the bottom of the beaker.
6. Be careful, take the tongs to remove the beaker away from the hot plate.
7. Do not forget to unplug the hot plate when finished removing the beaker.
8. Check that you have all of the objects: water, toothpicks, pebbles, clear rock, sand, metal filings, and salt.
9. CLEAN UP!!!
