Which soil will hold more water?

What we know!!

All plants need water. Plants will grow well in good soil.

 We wonder what will happen if water is poured into the clay soil?


 Water came rushing out. It looked really really dirty. 


What about the loam soil?


Water came out too BUT  it was just dripping. Water was also a little clear.

What does this all mean?

The loam soil retained most of the water, so we think that plants will grow in this soil.

Most of the water that was poured into the clay soil came out. We think that plants will not grow well in this soil.


To prove our theory!!  We planted seeds in the two different soils. We will be watching to see what happen in the next few days!!

More later!!!!
