Carrot Group Lab Report __Names__ : Brittney Miller (Techie), Grace Martin (Artist), JT Novarese (Leader), Ward Walthal (Moderator) __Question/ Purpose:__ Which Band aid brands are better, Walgreens brand or band- aid brand. Observation: Research: Some band-aids are waterproof, some are anti-bacterial. Others are more durable, elastic, protective, and Hypothesis:  JT- My hypothesis is that the Band-Aid brand will be more durable and waterproof than the Walgreens brand. Brittney Miller- Hypothesis is that the Band-Aid Brand willl end up being sticker and more efficent than the Walgreens brand. Grace Martin- My hypothesis is that both brands are equally efficient. Ward- hypothesis is that the the band aid brand is going to be better than the Walgreens brand. __Test Hypothesis-__  1. Gloves  2. Two containers  3. Cup one will be filled up with dirt, and cup two will be filled up with water  4. Control and Independent Variable- the Walgreens brand is out control, and the band aid brand is the independent variable  5. Band-aids

No lab saftey procedures needed for this project. __Instructions__  __Step 1__ - Each person will get a band aid and put dirt on their hand to see which brand is most protective. Then we will take of the band-aid and see which hand has less dirt on it. __Step 2__ - That same person will dip their hand in water with another band-aid and see which brand is most water resistant by seeing which is more drier. __Step 3-__ We will also test is stretchiness by stretching each one as far as possible and measuring them in centimeters. __Step 4__ - We will test the flexibiltity by putting the band-aid on our hands and flexing our hand to see which one is more flexible __Analysis/collect and study data__  Our analysis both brands were equally effective. They were each good at different tests. The Band-Aid brand was more effective at protectiveness, and stretchiness, but the Walgreens brand was more effective in flexibility and water resistance.  __Conclusion__ JT's hypothesis was correct about the band-aid brand being more protective, although it was wrong about it being more waterproof than han the walgreens brand In the overall conclusion, both brands were equally efficient. Meaning that part of our hypothesise was correct. In observation 1, band-aid brand and walgreens brand came close except for protectivness. In observation two when another group tested it, walgreens brand pretty much over ruled while the band-aid brand was lacking in basically all of the tests. The band-aid brand was less water resistant than then walgreens brand. From this experiment we learned that all different kinds of Band-Aids are unique, and each one is good in some ways and not as good in other ways. For example, the Band-Aid brand was very protective, but it was not very water resistant.
