Conduct an Experiment:
Examine these three kinds of soil:

What differences can you see?
What differences can you feel?
Which holds water longer?
-
Clay holds water.
Land with clay soil can easily flood.
-
Water runs quickly through sandy soil, thus plants
may
not have enough water.
-
Loam has just the right mix of clay, sand, and
humus.
Plants grow well in loam.
