Water, Water Everywhere, and Today Was About Soil and Stone

My morning classes went outside in an effort to drive a 4-inch diameter, 10-inch long PVC pipe into the ground, at least 5-cm. Not an easy challenge, but, necessary to measure the percolation of the ground. Needless to say, very little data was collected as water seeped out from under the driven tube, or, in some cases, the tubes did not go into the ground. So, why did the experiments fail to produce the anticipated results? Ask your kiddo, this was a lesson on deduction.

Have a great night, folks.
