Isn't sugar soluble in water and sand isn't soluble in water? You work out the details.
if you had a bucket that contained a mixture of sand and seashells ,how might you use the physical properties of the seashells them from the sand ?

Explanation: The sugar would dissolve in water. You could then pour off the solution and wash the remaining sand with a bit more water. Heat the water to evaporate it from the sugar, and the two are separated.
