Methods of Separation in Everyday Life
Tea leaves in a strainer, grains freed from husk, and salt left behind as water dries all show separation at work, the theme of NCERT Curiosity for Class 6, Chapter 9. The chapter demonstrates handpicking, winnowing, sieving, filtration, sedimentation and decantation, evaporation, and magnetic separation, matching each method to the mixture it suits. Simple kitchen and field activities let learners separate sand from water or husk from grain, and the chapter closes by linking clean drinking water to these very techniques.
