Use the guide and flow chart to determine the textural class and approximate sand, silt, and clay proportions of the following samples: unknown light material Planting Experiment Soil 1 Planting Experiment Soil 2 Planting Experiment Soil 3 Do you think you might get different answers if you performed the analysis again? Why or why not? According to your own experience, and the definitions discussed in class and in your text, are these materials soils? Explain your answer. Do you think testing the same soil by feel and by quantitative/mechanical analysis (e.g., sieve, hydrometer, laser diffraction, etc.) might yield different textural classes for any of these samples? Why or why not? If so, which assessment would you consider more v
