Place sand grains or rock particles in the central part of the circle. Compare the size of the par-
ticles with those on the graph with the aid of a magnifying glass. Record the corresponding
number (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) in notebook. For samples with particles of varying sizes, record the
most common size first.
