// Zoe Whelan // // Bailey Glydewell // // Ella McLaughlin // // Kaylee Griesbeck // 1.Problem- Which brand of dishsoap is higher quality and better, Target brand or Dawn brand? 2.Observation/Research- The soap should clean the plates, smell good, not leave residue, not be sticky, and make kitchen items shinny. 3.Hypothesis-  Bailey- I think that they will be the same because they are both made of pretty much the same ingredients. But I do think that the Dawn soap will make the plates smell and shine more that the Target brand will. Ella- I think they will be different because the Dawn brand is higher quality and Target brand is the cheaper brand. Kaylee- I think that the Dawn brand will be the best to use because it is a name brand and the name brand, to me, always works the best. Zoe- I believe that the name brand (Dawn) will be better because the people making Dawn soap specialize in what they do, so they understand what things soap needs unlike Target brand. 4.Test Hypothesis-  1. We have Dawn dish soap, Target brand dish soap,pancake syrup, and plastic plates. 2.Control brand- Target Dishwashing soap  Independent Variable- Dawn dish soap   Lab Safety-   Use apron, gloves, and hairbands. 1.First,add the syrup to four of the plastic plates (each person in the group has one plate)  2.Then put the plates in the sink. Each person uses the sink one at a time. 3. Put the correct soap on the plate  4.Then time how long everyone takes to scrub with the soap and clean the dirty plates. 5.Then, record how long it takes to clean the dishes. 6.Next, dry the plates. 7.Then, wait ten minutes and see how much residue is left on the plate. 8.Finally, record which plate has the least amount of residue and which brand of dish soap was used for the lowest amount. 5.Collect and Study Data-  Measure- smell, time it takes to clean, and residue. We will measure with a ten point scale for cleanliness. Residue will be measured by how many spots. 6. Conclusion: We figured out that the Dawn plates had no residue left, but the Target brand had many stains that you could see. Also, the Tagret brand was sticky.It took the Dawn brand less time to clean and dry and it took the Target brand twice the time as the Dawn. The Dawn brand smelled better than the Target brand because Target brand didn't have a scent. On the plates we used for the Target brand still had syrup left on it after we cleaned and it dry, the Dawn had nothing left on it and it shined. The Dawn brand did much better and our conclusion is that Dawn is better then Target brand. We found out that Kaylee, Zoe, and Ella were right in their hypothesis and Bailey was half right.
