Students read how to determine and calculate the dry density for a given sample of soil or aggregate based on the mass-volume relationship.

At the end of this lesson you will be able to

- Explain what biosecurity means.

- Describe why biosecurity is important.

- Identify what kinds of disease agents we try to prevent or control with biosecurity.

- Demonstrate disease agent-host-environmental interactions that result in disease.

In this animated activity, students read about weight-volume relationships within a given sample of soil or aggregate. They complete problems using a 3-phase diagram.

This interactive learning object demonstrates how the moisture content is determined for a given sample of soil or aggregate.
