Sieving is the method of separation of fine particles from bigger particles by allowing the finer particles to pass through the holes of a sieve, leaving the bigger particles in the sieve itself.

It is generally used in homes to separate flour from impurities such as pieces of stone, stalk, and husk. It is also used at construction sites to separate sand from small stones.

Sieving is the process of separation which allows the fine particles to pass through the holes in the sieve while the bigger impurities remain on the sieve.
 
Example :- Separating Sugar from Wheat Flour
                 Separating Tea from Tea Leaves
