 Ruby Lab Report-Katherine Clayton, Emily Drewry, Helen Mayer, and Gabriela Bustamante  1. Problem-Which paper towel brand absorbs liquid better in a less amount of paper towels?  2. Observation/Reasearch- 
 * Paper towels help clean up messes


 * Up & Up paper towels: $0.86


 * Bounty paper towels: $1.17

 3. Hypothesis-   Gabby, Helen, Emily, and Katherine- The Bounty paper towels being thicker and more expensive they will probably absorb liquid better.
 * Bounty paper towels are thicker

4. Test Hypothesis- Supplies:Paper towels (Bounty and Up&Up)WaterFlour WaterGloves Control: Target brand paper towels (Up&Up)Independent variable: Bounty paper towelsDependent variable: Water (flour and regular water) Do not drink the liquid! Step One: Put on gloves, then pour a half cup (use blue cup) of blue water on the table acting as the spill. Step Two: Use target brand paper towels (Up&Up) and try to clean up the mess, seeing how many sheets it takes.Step Three: Pour another half a cup (use blue cup) of blue water acting as another spill.Step Four: Use Bounty paper towels and clean up the spill; make sure to count the number of paper towels you use.Step Five: Spill a half cup (use blue cup) of yellow water looking as if it had been poured. Step Six: Use Up&Up paper towels and clean up the water, counting the number of sheets you use.Step Seven: Spill another half cup (blue cup), and clean up with Bounty paper towels but remember to count the number of sheets you use.Step Eight: Record your results from the experiment. Step Nine: Let another group test it, or give back to other group. 5. Collect and Study Data-     6. Conclusion- After testing the paper towels we discovered that Bounty absorbs liquid better then Up&Up. Although it is more expensive it may be a better deal to buy the more expensive brand will be more useful. The tests told us that Bounty is better but Target may be the cheaper brand. I think if we changed the brands of the paper towels and liquid the experiment would have been completely different. Our hypothesis was correct beacause we said that the Bounty would absorb more liquid in less paper towels, and it did.  <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 1px; white-space: normal;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 1px; white-space: normal;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 1px; white-space: normal;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 1px; white-space: normal;">Ruby Group Crime Scene Investigation-Nick Ireland, Reagan Riccossa, Helen Mayer, and Molly Wilkinson. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 1px; white-space: normal;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 1px; white-space: normal;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 1px; white-space: normal;">
