    This document outlines an experiment to analyze the proportions of different particle sizes in a soil sample. The method involves mixing soil with water in a cylinder, letting it settle, and measuring the volumes of distinct layers to calculate percentages. The results are displayed in a table showing the physical components of soil by volume percentage, ranging from small to very large particles and water.

    TITLE: SOIL

    AIM: to make an analysis of the proportions of soil particles of different sizes in a soil sample

    Apparatus and materials: 500cm3 measuring cylinder, glass rod, water, sample of garden soil

    Method:
    1. Place a sample of garden soil in a 500cm3 measuring cylinder.
    2. Fill the measuring cylinder with tap water to the 500cm3 mark.
    3. Using the glass rod, mix the water and the soil thoroughly.
    4. Leave it to settle for a few hours.
    5. Identify and measure the different layers of soil.
    6. Calculate the percentage of each layer and use a bar graph to represent the information.

    Title: Table showing….

    Physical components of soil Volume as a percentage %

    Small particles (281– 300) 3.8%

    Medium particles (221- 280 11.8%

    Large particles (91- 220) 25.8%

    Very large particles (0- 90)

    Water (300.2 – 500)
