Purpose
(5 pts)
Describe, in your own words, in 1-2 sentences your understanding of what the purpose of this lab is? What questions are you attempting to answer? PART I Part I Instructions 1.
Watch Pete’s Lab. (the link is in the Materials
section and in lesson.)

Part I Data
(25 pts)
In the video, the professor mentions a worksheet that you are supposed to print out. However, you don’t need the worksheet from the video, as the table below contains the necessary data. Use the information provided below for your calculations. (2.5 pts per blank = 25 pts)
2 Objects to be measured Measurement or Calculation – make sure to add the units either g or mL or g/mL 1 Weight of beaker and particles
2 Weight of beaker alone
173.1 g
3 Weight of particles (#1 - #2 =?)
4 Bulk Volume (Particles + Pore Space = ?)
5 Initial volume of water in the graduated cylinder
6 Final volume of water with particles added
7 Volume of particles (#6 - #5 = ?)
8 Volume of pore space (#4 - #7 = ?)
9 Percent of bulk volume that is open space (#8/#4 = ?)
10 Bulk Density = Mass / Bulk Volume (#3/#4 = )
11 Density of particles = Mass/Volume (#3/#7= ?) Make sure to have the correct units in the answer.
Questions
1.
Write the definition of these words that were covered in the video. Porosity, Regolith,
Permeability. (5 pts)
2.
Pete used “sediments” that were all the same shape and size in this demonstration. How would
varying the size of the “sediments” affect the porosity (assuming the total volume of “sediment”
remains the same)? (5 pts) Write in complete sentences using good grammar.
3 3.
If Pete used angular “sediments” would that increase or decrease the porosity? Explain why in 1 -
2 complete sentences with good grammar? (5 pts)
PART II Part II Overview In the lesson you have already used the video in part I now you will be using the interactive that is in the lesson after the image that is labeled “Permeability of Soil Type” for Part II. The Part II instructions apply to the interactive in the lesson and the table that is below the instructions labeled Part II Data. Part II Instructions 1.
You will click the + and – symbols in the interactive to change the volumes for sand, silt, and
clay until you have a total of 100 mL. There are starting volume numbers for you to enter from
the data table below to help you determine the ratio for each soil type; some of the soil types
have two numbers in data table.
2.
Once you have entered a correct ratio of soil mixture, a soil type listed on the data table will
appear below. Write down the volumes into the data table below for that soil type.
3.
Press “Test this Soil”. You will see a video of the porosity being tested for that soil type. At the
end of the video you will then go to see how much water was left in the beaker.
4.
Once the image of the beaker is up, try to read how much water was left and then check your
estimate with the button next to the image of the water. Be sure to write the number down
that the button shows on the data table below.
5.
You will then need to calculate the water in the soil. Remember that each sample began with
100 mL of water. You will need to subtract the volume in the beaker from the starting volume
of water, what is left is the water in the soil. Write down your result in the data table.
6.
Once all information has been recorded for the different soil types the last column, Porosity,
needs to be calculated. The porosity will be calculated using the following formula:
Volume water held in soil
Porosity (%) = × 100
Volume total sediment
NOTE: Answers may be rounded to the nearest 1%. 7.
