Independent Variable Our independent variable is about the difference of each paper towel (IT VARIES). Since different brands compete against each other, we will find out which brand is actually giving us the most value. The independent variable is about the different paper towels.

Dependent Variable Our dependent variable talks about how much water each paper towel absorbed, since the paper towels all compete against each other. All trying to make the best offer. But are you buying the right one? I don’t know, that’s why were are going to test out the outcomes of these brands.

Paper is made out of wood. It takes a big process in factories. Paper comes in many size and/or colors. I researched that paper used to be made with papyrus plants. “Papyrus plants grow where is wet and moist”. My test design will show which paper towel will hold the most water to prove which one is more ABSORBENT. According to this scientific question I will prove which paper towel has been made most absorbent by taking water and dropping it on top of each brand’s paper. I predict that the paper towel with the most PATTERNS will hold more water. I think its because of the paper designs because the designs have bumps that make shape/patterns and I think those will hold the water in place.

Hypothesis

Describing The Experiment I gathered my materials(Paper towels, test tube, water, etc). Then I took 6 pieces of paper from each different brand of paper towels. And then I took one piece of each 6. On the test tube, I added 10ML of water. I dropped the water in the test tube onto the paper(s). I waited 20 seconds after the water spill. Then measured the length and width of the water spill. I also did the same thing(measured length and width) to the paper. Multiplied length and width of water and paper, divided the results of the water by the results of the paper. I recorded the results .Then I repeated the same steps for 2 pieces of paper and then 3.

PROCEDURE TO EXPERIMENT1. Gather materials necessary for experiment2. Take 6 sheets of paper from each brand3. First take one sheet4. On the test tube, add water up to 10ML5. Spill water from test tube onto paper 6. Wait 20 seconds 7. Measure length and width of water spill, and paper8. Record the measures onto data table9. Multiply length and width of water spill and paper10. Divide water spill area to paper area11. Repeat steps 1-10 for two sheets and three

Data and CollectionOur data shows differences between the two towels (BOUNTY AND VIVA). For viva: Spill 1, 42.8 % of the water was absorbed, on spill 2, 13.4% of the water was absorbed, and on spill 3, 7.4% was absorbed. On the other story (BOUNTY) at the time of the spill 1, Bounty absorbed 37.2% of the water. Second spill, the water took up 22.0% of the paper. On the third water spill, 19% was absorbed. We collected this data by dropping 10ML of water on each paper.

Conclusion

The answer to the question is that Viva (Paper towel brand) holds the least water, this is because when we tested Viva, the average of how much water it holds was 58.6%. So that means Viva holds more less. Bounty’s water average was 65.5% so Bounty holds more water.

Ooops

We learned that Viva is not the best paper towel ever (as we learned). Viva paper towel absorbed less water so it cleans less better than Bounty . So we learned that by adding 10ML of water to each brand’s paper, we can figure out which paper towel absorbed most. It was Bounty. So Viva cleans less.
