Title: Erosion By Water
Materials:

6 cups of garden soil
2 bottles of 500 ml water
Procedures:
1. Get 2 small pans and fill them with garden soil. Label one pan as A and the other as B.
2. Pour water gradually in the soil on the first pan. What happened to the soil? Describe the movement of
the soil.
3. Repeat procedure number 2 on the second pan. This time pour the water rapidly into the soil. What
happened?
Compare the difference in terms of the movement of the soil from the first one.
4. Record the time and measure your observations.
Questions:
1. Based on your observation, in which setup did the soil move faster? Why?
2. Based on your observation, in which setup did the soil move farther? Why?
3. Based on your observation, which setup moved more soil? Why?
4. As you observed, what happened to the color of the water?
5. Based on the data collected in the experiment, what can you conclude about soil erosion?​
