Abstract This lab’s purpose was to test the patterns of percolation in various places. This lab tested how soil would absorb water based on different places. Distance from a group of trees‚ distance from a swamp‚ and different types of soil were tested. From the results collected‚ you can not prove‚ but you can infer that the ability to absorb increases as you go farther away from a swamp‚ and a group of trees. The ability to absorb also increases based on how much silt is in soil. Introduction

resources becoming more and more limited‚ but they are also contaminated and are harmful to the planet and the organisms that live there. In the movie‚ the character WALL-E was created to fix the problem of the mounds of trash‚ but the problem was not solved. The robot merely made the mounds of trash an organized mess.
