Please leave a picture or a question or comment on our project mallory_thawley https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/300610176 Students are to design a soil sedimentator that can be made from a water bottle and 2 types of soil. The model should show how soils can be sorted based on physical properties such as: particle size,texture,color, and capacity to retain water.]]> 2018-11-05 17:35:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/300610176 Ms.Gilmore's class asks: mallory_thawley https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/307876519 What effect does water have on the soil?
Why do parts of the water get darker or lighter?
Why does the water look like it is shrinking?
How does the soil absorb the water? 
Where can you find different types of soil?
How long does it take for the water to change color?
How long does it take for the  soil to absorb the water
Can the sand change color?

What kind of soils do you have?
What colors are your soils?
What does your Mud Mixer look like/]]> 2018-11-27 16:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/308355036 mallory_thawley https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/308527043 2018-11-27 20:39:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/308527043 Mr. Douglas' class asks mallory_thawley https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/308849991 What is the texture of your soil?
What happens overnight?
What happens when you shake it?
Will the sand have parts of clay in it?
Will the sand change color overnight? Do you see bubbles forming?]]> 2018-11-28 15:45:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/308849991 Ms. Oldner's class mallory_thawley https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/310540187 2018-12-03 17:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/310540187 mallory_thawley https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/310567631 2018-12-03 18:22:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/310567631 Ms. Well's class asks: mallory_thawley https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/311413341 When you shake it what color does it turn?                      How long does it take for the soils to settle?                       Do you have clay?                    What are your observations after waiting overnight?
Does anything stick to the container when you tip it over?     
Is your sedimentator lighter at the top?
Can you send a picture of your sand?]]> 2018-12-05 15:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/311413341 Ms. Harding's class answers: mallory_thawley https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/311470309 Our soils are called silt, sand, topsoil, and loam.
We have a garden. Yes, we grow veggies.
We have top soil and loam in the garden. Did the soil separate from the water? Did you all use the same soil?]]> 2018-12-05 17:07:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/311470309 mallory_thawley https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/311486397 2018-12-05 17:33:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/311486397 mallory_thawley https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/311486834 2018-12-05 17:34:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/311486834 mallory_thawley https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/311631176 2018-12-05 23:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/311631176 mallory_thawley https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/311631356 2018-12-05 23:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/311631356 mallory_thawley https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/311631479 2018-12-05 23:22:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mallory_thawley/2rt02j0pvgg0/wish/311631479
