A. The Heated Soil Scenario Walter placed 240 grams of sand (S), potting soil (P), and a mixture of sand and soil (M) into

separate containers. In each of the containers he placed a thermometer so that the bulb was

2.5 cm below the surface. He placed all 9 containers under identical heat lamps for an hour.

After heating the containers in three separate trials, the temperatures were (all are in degrees

centigrade):

S: 28, 27, 26

P:33, 29, 31

M: 29, 29, 22.5
