You can use skimming to separate solids that float from the remaining liquid in a mixture.

Here's how it works:

1. Let the mixture settle: Allow the mixture to stand undisturbed so the floating solids rise to the top.

2. Use a spoon or ladle: Carefully scoop the floating solids off the surface of the liquid.

3. Collect the solids: Transfer the collected solids to a separate container.

This method is commonly used to remove fat from soup or skim cream from milk.
