 Sunset Lab Repor t  Courtney Diebold Davis Brooks Mary Cathryn Mathis 1) Question/Purpose-Which of the two brands of paper towels absorb more water? 2) Observation/Research-
 *  There mostly white


 *  They clean up messes


 *  They have different designs


 *  They can soak up liquids


 *  Some are stronger than others


 *  Different textures


 *  Different brands


 *  Some are softer than others


 *  Different smells

3) Hypothesis- We think that between Bounty and Up & Up, Bounty is going to be more absorbent. We are going to poor our water on the table and see which brand soaks up more of it.

4) Test Hypothesis- 1. Bounty Paper Towels 2. Up & Up Paper Towels 3. 2 bottles of water
 *  Materials
 *  Control- The control would be the Target brand paper towels.


 *  Independant Variable- The independant variable would be the Bounty brand paper towels.

Absorbancy Test 1 1. Get out paper towels. 2. P our two spots of water on table. 3. S ee how many wipe it takes to absorb enough water. Absorbancy Test 2 1. Get out paper towels. 2. The n we pour two spots of the water onto the table. 3. Then we take Bounty paper towels and Target brand paper towels and we see which brand can absorb more of the water. 4. Whichever brand uses less sheets to cl e an up the mess, is more absorbant than the other.  5) Collect and Study Data:

6) Conclusion: We tested Bounty and Up & Up paper towels. We test their absorbancy by spilling the same amount of water on each side of the table. We then took one paper towel and saw how many wipes it took for the whole paper to towel to be absorbed in water. We did the test twice and then started on the second one. Again we spilled the same amount of water each side of the table and took a couple sheets of each paper towel bran d and saw how many sheets it took to clean up all the water. We found that the B ounty paper towels w ere more absorbant than the target brand.
 *  Our hyp o thesis was correct. We guessed that the B ounty paper towels would be better than the target brand paper towels.
