If water, salt, sand, oil, and iron were all combined in a mixture how would you separate them so that each of the ingredients end up in different cups?

Different size filter paper....since salt dissolves in water, you can pour the water with the dissolved salt onto filter paper and let the paper dry, once the paper dries, you should have salt residue on the filter paper.

I'd seal them in a container and ship them off to Abby Sciuto. She'd have no trouble separating them.
