Action of Water in Soil 5. Fill three bottles to the depth of about one inch with clay, sand, and loam. Then completely fill all three bottles with water and shake thoroughly. Set the bottles in a quiet place and let their contents settle. Observe which soil settles to the bottom most quickly, keeping a record of the time required for the water to become clear in each bottle. 6. Crumble a piece of clay into fine particles. Do the same with loam and with sandy soil. Which soil,.
