4.7A: Properties of Soils Earth and Space 1 Students test the amount of water retained by different types of soil. Equal amounts of soil were added to four funnels with filters, then the same volume of water was poured through each soil sample. To determine the amount of water retained by each soil sample, the student would – A add the amount of each soil sample to the volume of water poured in B divide the total volume of water poured in by the number of samples C subtract the volume of water collected from the volume poured in D multiply the volume of water poured in by the number of soil samples 1 4.7A: Properties of Soils Earth and Space 2 Which model demonstrates a way to test properties of different soils to determine which type of soil best supports the growth of plants? A B C D 2 4.7A: Properties of Soils Earth and Space 3 4 Which property of soil could students determine by rubbing a sample between their fingers? A The texture of the soil B The soil’s ability to support life C The color of the soil D The processes that formed the soil Students are placing different soil samples in front of a fan to see which kind of soil is moved most easily by wind. What piece of safety equipment would be most important during this investigation? A Fire extinguisher B Gloves C Goggles D First-aid kit 3 4.7A: Properties of Soils Earth and Space 5 Students poured 200 mL of water through a soil sample. They collected and measured the water that drained out of the soil. The water collected had a volume of 110 mL. How much water did the soil retain? Record your answer in the grid. 4
