beach table for sand image
Sean F
I have most of it figured out.
Iron-Through magnetization
Table Salt-Through dissolving and evaporating in water.
Poppy Seeds-The plan was that they would all just float to the top and I could scoop them out, and they do float but they fall back down if you touch them.
And the plan with the beach sand is that it would just be left over.
The mixture is of unknown amounts of each substance in a test tube.
So any ideas on the poppy seeds?
Answer
If the objective was to find out the weight of each unknown amount, then you would have to weigh it before and after you got it wet to dissolve the water to find the loss in weight from having it washed away, then you would have to weight it after it dried again to find out how much weight in salt disappeared. If you had to "separate" your salt, then you would have to collect the rinse water and dry that as well.
If I had to try to float the seeds, and they were sinking in pure water, I would try to float them by using saturated salt water instead of pure water because the saturated salt water is denser.
The first thing I would do to try to separate the poppy seeds would be to shake the dry mixture side to side, the larger poppy seeds would migrate to the top of the mixture because they should be slightly larger and lighter than the sand particles. If they are much larger than the sand, then I would pass them through a screen to filter out the poppy seeds.
Using a magnet for the iron is a good idea.

Answer
I'd go with something Polynesian which incorporates a tropical theme and has an Asian flair. Be careful about overdoing things so it doesn't end up looking kitschy. You know, tiki lights, totems, grass skirting, coconuts, etc. Unless that's your style.
When I think of Polynesian, I think about bamboo flooring, or parquetry--a mid-grade color, not too light, not too dark. You could do an accent wall in fabric or textured paneling (like novawall paneling-which helps lessen noise and looks sophisticated--I'm thinking a dark, wet sand color), or install a "living wall" panel of plants (for a nice verdant green), with a clerestory strip of low level lighting--or small pot lights to create mood. Without knowing the dimensions of your room, or your tastes, I'm doing a lot of guessing, so bear with me.
I'd put in some nice amber lighting to bounce the color around--wall sconces, task lighting, up-lights in the corners and a central light fixture hanging from the ceiling (could incorporate a ceiling fan here...). Mix neutral colors with stark white elements, vases for example and shiny elements of silver or brass. You might decide to have a few art pieces. I can picture a large fish bowl (modern style), filled with cowry shells as part of a water feature. Beach colors might include tequila orange, red pomegranate, deep turquoise or aqua, sunset yellows, midnight blues, that sort of thing. A trick I used in my office was to take different color bamboo poles (six ft. tall) from light tan, to mahogany red, to dark brown and finally black and put them into an old brass coal scuttle that's about two feet tall. I also varied their sizes, from large poles to reeds and made a sort of "fan tree" out of them.
You could also try a Bombay approach. Here the wood tones would be deeper. The accent wall might incorporate wide panel shutters back-lit by mood lighting, or a wide panel shutter room divider. Same kind of lighting elements. Thomasville has a Hemingway Collection which has a lot of these elements. In my mind I see old steamer trunks with brass fixtures and knobs, worn leather desk blotters, campaign table, faux ivory elements (like elephants, etc.), large fans, a panama style hat hanging from a clothes tree. Colors might include royal blues, teal greens, mustard yellows, ebony etc. Fabrics might include muslin, cotton, white satin.
Floor would be darker wood. Bedding could be stark white linens, maybe incorporate mosquito netting in one corner that drapes to the floor, back-lit for effect, and tied with a decorative tie back and tassel. Side table has a glass carafe on a silver tray. I always think mixing muted tones with shiny elements looks more sophisticated and interesting to the eye.
Again, include a water element or feature.
