Soil Worksheet 1
What is Soil?
Directions: Study samples of soil collected from different areas of your state. Use hand
lenses and vials to examine what is found in soil.
Pour a sample of soil onto a black and a sample onto white construction paper. Using a hand
lens, examine the soil to see the different components. Draw and write your observations.
Fill clear vials with soil and water. Shake. Wait a little while for
the matter to separate. Do you see layers? Different colors?
Particle sizes? Record your observations.
