Rocks and Soils –
Practical Science with Mrs Jennings

We were seeing which soil drained the fastest.

We used three types of soil:

• Clay based
• Sand based and
• Loam

We successfully proved that clay based soil let the water through fastest… unfortunately, we had anticipated quite the opposite.

Careful observation and timers at the ready,

The clay based soil allowing the water to
drain through quicker than we had hoped!
