There are three types of soil - sand, silt, and clay. Sand is coarse and gritty. Pieces of sand are large. Clay is fine and silky. Pieces of clay are tiny. Silt is in between these two. Soil can be made up of different mixtures of sand, silt, and clay.

One way to find out the different amounts of sand, silt, and clay in a soil sample would be to –
F.
put the soil sample in the freezer for several days to cool the sand, silt, and clay.
G.
sift the soil sample through screens of different sizes to separate the soil into sand, silt, and clay.
H.
place the soil sample on a balance and record the combined weight of sand, silt, and clay.
J.
divide the soil sample into three parts, and put each part in a jar labeled “sand,” “silt,” or “clay.”
