What is a separating mixture of sugar powdered iron and sawdust?

Yes - First, you pour water into the mixture, and mix thoroughly. The sugar will dissolve into the water, but the sawdust won't. Then you get filter paper and make a cone with it (fold it into a quarter then push at the sides), then put it in a funnel and put that in a beaker/pot (depends on amount of mixture). When all of the water has drained through the paper, you will be left with sawdust on the filter-paper and sugar-water in the beaker-pot. To separate the sugar from the water, heat the water up until it has all evaporated, leaving sugar crystals in the pot/beaker.

2. Add water to the mixture of dust and sugar; stir vigorously.
3. Sugar is dissolved.
4. After filtering sugar pass in the solution.
5. Evaporating the water crystallized sugar is obtained with some possible impurities from the dust (water soluble contaminants).

No, really.
Oh, OK. Sawdust will float in water, while sugar will dissolve. You can filter the floating sawdust out of the water, and re-crystalize the sugar as "rock candy" by evaporation.
You could also separate the sawdust from the sugar with air. With a fan blowing GENTLY to the side, sift the sugar/sawdust mixture down in front of the fan. Sawdust will catch the wind and be blown to the side, while sugar will fall more directly. This is the same method that farmers use to separate grains of wheat from "chaff", the tiny particles of the husks.

2. Sugar is dissolved in water. Saw dust is not soluble and after filtration remain on the filter.
3. Evaporating the filtrate containing water crystalline sugar is obtained.

OR
2) use water to dissolve the sugar.
