Procedure:
A 250ml beaker was filled with 200ml of soil.
100ml graduated cylinder was filled with 100ml of water.
The water was then poured onto soil until completely saturated.
Observations were made.
The water left over was measured.
Observations and Data:
The soil looked saturated
Soil is wet
37ml of water left over after saturation
The measurement of water left over was subtracted from 100 to find the pore space.
100-37=63
63ml of pore space
The pore space was divided by the amount of soil that was started with to find the percent soil porocity.
63/200=31.5%porocity
