You have a mixture of 2 solid substances and want to separate them. They are both grey and appear to be "identical". However... one of these substances has a density of 2 g/mL and the other has a density of .5 g/mL. How could you separate them based on this information?

The substance with the greater density will sink when mixed with water while the substance with the lesser density will float on water.
