Shamrock Lab Report Members of the Shamrock Group: Christina Guyton, Taylor Burford, Stephanie Baucum Problem-  Which paper towel brand works most efficiently, and which is more absorbant and durible? Observation/Research-  Some absorb more liquid than others. Some are thicker towles than others. The store brand paper towles are cheaper than the name brand. Hypothisis-  Stephanie- I think that the Bounty paper towels will work better than the Target Brand Paper Towels. I believe this because the Target brand does not look as strong and durable as the Bounty Brand does to me. Christina- My Hypothisis is that the Targert Brand Paper owels will work the most efficiently because they look more durable, stronger, and absorbent than the Bounty Brand Paper Towles.They are also a good buy because they are cheaper. Taylor- My hypothisis is that the Bounty Paper Towel Brand will be the best brand for anyone to use because the Bounty Brand Paper Towels look and feel thicker and more durable. Test Hypothysis- Materials-  -Bounty and Target Brand Paper Towels. -a few cupsof water. -a plate that has dried piant on it. - The Target Paper Towel Brand will be the control in this project, and the Bounty Paper Towel Brand will be the independent variable. 1. For our first test we are going to paint the plate and let it dry over night. After that we will get our cups of water and pour a few drops of water on the paper towel. After that we will scrub the plate to see which type of paper towel will get the most paint off with less rips on the towels. 2.For our second test to see which one is the strongest we will put a grapefruit on the paper towel with a few drops of water and we will see which one would hold the most wieght. The paper towels will go through 4 tests each. First test is the grapfruit with no pressure. Second test is to test the towel with grapfruit with little pessure. Third test we will drop the grapefriut from about an inch above. Forth test we will drop from about 5 inches above. 3.To see wich one is the most absorbant, we will have two test. First, we will pour water on the paper towels until it drips through. We will also pour water on the table and wipe it up with as many paper towels as needed to wipe it up completely. Collect and Study Data- Conclusion-  Our conclusion proved that the Bounty paper towels worked better than the Target brand paper towels. The Bounty brand was more durable, it also worked better, and it lasted the longest compared to the Target brand in our tests that we did. Stephanie- My hypothysis was correct,that the Bounty paper towels did work better than the Target brand. It was the most durable, and it was more absorbant compared to the Target brand paper towels that we tested. Taylor- My hypothisis was correct after all the tests we made. The Bounty paper powels worked the best for all of our test that we used in this experiment compared to the Target brand paper towels. Christina- My hypothisis was wrong from the results of our tests we made. It turned out that the results came out that the Bounty prand paper towels did the best in all of the four tests that we did.
