1. Problem- Are Glad garbage bags or target brand garbage bags more durable?

2. Observation/ Research- Durability-how much they can hold, elastic-will it rip if sharp objects are in it, and price-which brand is worth its money.

3. Hypothesis- We all think the Glad garbage bags are better then target brand garbage bags.

4.Test Hypothesis
 * Glad garbage bags, Target brand garbage bags
 *  Control- Target brand garbage bags
 * Independent Variable- Glad garbage bags
 * Step by Step Instructions- First we will fill the bags with textbooks to see if it is strong enough and will not tear. Then we will fill it with garbage, to see if it will block the stench. We need to see if the product is worth what you payed for it, by seeing if it is reliable.
 * Safety Precautions
 * Wear gloves when using sharp objects.
 * Wear gloves when dealing with garbage and food.

5. Collect and Study Data 6. Conclusion- Glad garbage bags did not rip as much as the Target bags. The Glad bags were more durable than the Target bags. Our conclusion is that Glad bags are stronger and won't tear as easily. Even though they are more expensive than Target brand garbage bags they are worth the price. All of our hypothesises are right.
