The property that would allow a student to easily separate sand and iron filings is magnetism. Iron filings are attracted to magnets, while sand is not. By using a magnet, the iron filings can be pulled away from the sand, effectively separating the two materials. Solubility and melting/boiling points are not applicable in this case for separating sand and iron filings.
Which property could allow a student to easily separate sand and iron fillings. Would it be solubility or melting point our bowling point or magnetism?
