Title: Comparison of Soil Porosity
Date: March 18, 2013
Aim: To prove that Sandy Soil would have the mot water after 24 hours.
Apparatus/Materials: Three Conical Flasks, Three Filter Funnels, Cotton Balls, Measuring Cylinder, Loam Soil, 225ml of Water, Paper, Pencil
Methods/Procedures:
Obtain and clean out three conical flasks. Label each flask Sand, Loam and Clay. Plug three funnels with cotton balls and place one in each flask. Place 20g of each soil in respected filter funnels. Measure and pour 75ml of water into each flask. Record he time for the first drop of water in each. Leave for 24 hours. After 24 hours remove funnel and measure the amount of water in the flask. Construct table, graph and simple diagram. Clean up area. Write observations

CONCLUSION
WRITTEN RESULTS AND OBSERVATION
I cleared out three conical flasks and three funnels. Placed a funnel in each conical flask. I then placed a cotton in each of the funnels and then in each
