In this investigation, students will collect site soil samples using a soil core sampler. The topsoil is usually darker than lower layers (or horizons) because this is where organic matter accumulates.. The soil will be examined for the characteristics of soil texture, color, layers and moisture. Soil color is a clear way to see and distinguish specific soil properties, especially for the trained soil scientist. Students and the instructor discuss how the soil properties observed affect the use of the soil for farm-ing, gardening, and other purposes.
