Sedimentation is the process of leaving a suspension for a period of time to allow the suspended particles to separate. Heavier particles will settle first, while smaller particles will take longer. This often results in different layers forming at the bottom of a suspension. We call the materials forming these layers sediment.

Some food products, like freshly squeezed orange juice, and other household substances such as paint will require the user to 'shake product before use'. These substances are suspensions. Solutions, such as soft drinks or cordial mixers on the other hand, do not require shaking because solutions don't form layers or separate over time.
