A scientist might use a magnet and small strainer when investigating the physical properties of a substance **to try and take apart an easily separated mixture**.

Using a magnet can help separate magnetic materials from non-magnetic ones, while a strainer can help separate solids from liquids or larger particles from smaller ones in a mixture. Together, they can efficiently separate components based on their physical properties.
