What technique did you use to separate a heavy material from a lighter one? How do you do the process of winnowing? Explanation: Generalization
Separation process is a method to achieve any phenomenon that converts a mixture of chemical substance into two or more distinct product mixtures, which may be referred to as mixture. at least one of which is enriched in one or more of the mixture's constituents. Explanation: Generalization
Winnowing is the process by which we can separate any heavy material from a lighter one with the use of wind. It is a relevant method of separation in case of solid-solid mixtures having components of different weights. Explanation: Generalization
Example: the wheat grains from the field still have dried husk and chaff, which have to be separated and thrown away before the wheat can be used. Explanation: Generalization
The husk is blown away as it is much lighter than the grain. So, when the grains are gently dropped to the ground, only the wheat grains collect there, while the husk blows away. Explanation: Generalization
ELABORATION: Application Do you think the process of winnowing can be of great help to community? How?
