Soil Dry Percolation Rate Test

In this lab we made a funnel of soil, sand, and clay. Each funnel then had water poured into it until water started leaking out the bottom.  The leaking was timed and the results were 44.5 seconds for the clay, 30.2 seconds for sand, and 27.2 seconds for the soil.  The measurements of the water that dripped through each funnel was 10.6 ml for the clay, 12.3 ml for the sand, and 9.4 ml for the soil.  If each sample was given the same amount of time, the clay would have let the least water through, and the sand would have let the most through.
