How to separate table salt and sand (science experiment)?

We were given a lab to extract iron filings, rock salt, and table salt from a cup of sand (the components were put in b our teacher). We have extracted the iron filings and rock salt by using a magnet for the iron filings and wire mesh for the rock salt. We need to find a way to extract the table salt using these materials:
Wire Mesh
Graduated Cylinder
Triple Beam Balance
Plastic Bags
Sheet of Paper
Beaker
Balance
Magnet
Funnel
Hot plate
Water
Filter Paper
Shallow Pan
Graph Paper

Any help???

Which one is soluble?

(That’s all you get, it is homework after all)

Hope it helps.
