== Demonstration == # Fill each of the beakers with 500mL of water. Pour cereal into one beaker until it reaches the 800mL line. Let The cereal get soggy, and as it soaks use the whisk to keep it in the water. # When students come up, have them help you whisk the cereal in the beaker until it completely breaks up. Let them know that they will be checking to see if the cereal has any metal in it. # Once the cereal has completely broken up, have the student hold the magnet against the beaker, near the pour spout. Pour the slurry slowly out of the beaker into the second beaker, making sure they hold the magnet against the beaker the whole time. Once the slurry is poured out, there will be a bunch of tiny metal pieces where the magnet was held! # After explaining this demonstration, pour the metal bits back into the slurry and re-mix it. As you repeat the demonstration, you may need to add more cereal to the slurry from time to time. When you do, add cereal only 100-200 mL at a time, and be sure to have it completely break down in the water.
