* Boiling Point: Water has a much lower boiling point than salt. This allows us to boil the water, leaving the salt behind as a solid.
* Evaporation: Similar to boiling, evaporation relies on the fact that water turns into a gas (water vapor) at room temperature, while salt remains solid. We can use sunlight or a gentle heat source to speed up evaporation, leaving the salt behind.
* Crystallization: By carefully evaporating water from a salt solution, we can encourage the formation of salt crystals. These crystals can then be collected and separated from any remaining water.
