Kavi Makes a Mix
Kavi tips peanuts 🥜, raisins, and seeds into a bowl and gives it a big stir. "Look — a mixture! I mixed them together, but every peanut is still a peanut and every raisin is still a raisin. Each part keeps its own properties. That means I can always separate them again. Come on — let's mix things up and then pull them apart!"

A peek inside
Kavi mixes iron paperclips into a bowl of dry sand. Which tool should Kavi use to pull the paperclips out?
Paperclips are made of iron, and iron sticks to a magnet. The sand is not magnetic, so it stays in the bowl.
