Objective:

The purpose of this lab is to obtain soil needed for the research we are planning to complete in the research lab. We shall learn and form good researching skills and habits that will be helpful in future graduate studies.

Procedure.

1. Gather soil near a tree on campus and put an appropriate amount in a Ziploc bag.
2. Record the environmental details such as the temperature, pressure, and exact location of  where the soil retrieved.
3. Weigh the mass of the soil using a petri dish and an electronic scale.
