1. Carrie has a container that contains thousands of mixed glass beads and iron beads of different
shapes and sizes. Which of the following is the best way to separate them?
A. The glass beads will float, so she could add water to the container and the glass will float to the top.
B. The iron beads are magnetic, so she could separate the glass from the iron with a strong magnet.
C. The iron beads might be heavier, so she could shake the container until the iron beads settle to the
bottom.
D. The iron beads are smaller, so she could pour the beads through a strainer and the glass beads will
separate.
