In this lab, you will simulate the soil type by moving the sliding bars in the “Soil Meter” to the left
or right. The name of the soil will appear as you move the bars. Once you have your soil
composition set, click test soil and wait as soil will be poured into your funnel. Then click “pour
water” and wait until 1 one drop of water falls into your beaker. Record the percentages of each
soil component and the total amount of water (ml) that had to be added before any water was
able to drain through the soil.

Silt -- 100% --
