      Salt is made out of different atoms! The salt in your house that you cook with is sodium chloride, which has sodium and chlorine in it.
      Sea salt is different! It’s made up of potassium and chloride! In order to get salt from the sea, you can dry out sea water and then collect the salt at the ends. People do this is big pools near the ocean that look like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9i8V-t82CA
