I want to find out how to separate the salt from the salty water.

Equipment:

• two empty beer bottles
• bunsen burner

• metal tray pans
• Sand
• damp rag

Method:

1. Put some salt water into a empty beer bottle be able to turn it on its side with out the water coming out.
2. Put one pan above the bunsen burner and the other the same height 
3. Put sand in the trays

do not use aluminium trays or foll next time be cause when it is above the flame it will burn and sand will fall out the hole
