Activity 1 Visual Soil Classification Data Sheet

This document contains visual soil classification data sheets for 3 soil samples labeled Soil A, Soil B, and Soil C. Soil A is classified as a dark gray fine-grained soil containing mainly fines with some fine sand. Soil B is a dark gray and yellow silty clay containing mostly clay and some fines. Soil C is a gray coarse-grained soil containing primarily sand with some gravel and fines, and is classified as poorly graded with rounded particles.
