For this lab we stuck a metal tub in the ground and brought it back up with dirt,mud and all kinds of sediment. Then we had to observe how it looked. The dirt get darker and more dense as it goes down. We also had to sift dirt through a sifter. The sifter seperates the differnt sized particles in the dirt from biggest to smallest.

For the mason jar lab we filled half the jar with sand and put alittle bit of fabric softener and filled the rest with water.As you let the jar sit you can clearly see how everything seperates and we measuered it. 5 1/2 cm= 61%= Sandy Loam- Dark Particles 1 1/2 cm=16%= Sandy Clay- Dark Solid 2 cm=23%= Silty Clay- Milky White

For water tasting we had to sample 3 differnt kinds of water, Distilled,Spring,Purified. We did not know which one was which. Bottled water is preferred because it is better tasting and has a higher quality. Tap water is preferred because there are no plastic bottles and is cheaper than bottled water.

__ Porosity and Permeability-Andre Miller __ For this lab we put 2 different kinds of material in 2 half cut 2 liter bottles. Then we would wrap a gauze around the lid and pour water into the soil and see how much water comes out.
