Settling Rates of Different Size Particles

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students discover how and why the settling rate of particles differs with the size of the particles. Using different soil samples, they calculate the amount of time it takes for a sample to settle in water for up to forty minutes. They answer lab questions and discuss their answers as a class.
