The student conducted an experiment to determine which paper towel (Bounty, Brawny, or Sparkle) is most absorbent. The hypothesis was that Bounty would be most absorbent due to its two-ply sheets and pockets that hold liquid. The experiment involved measuring 8 oz of water, dipping paper towels in for 5 seconds, and recording the amount of water absorbed. Over 3 trials, Bounty consistently absorbed the most water at 1.0-1.3 oz, followed by Brawny at 1.0 oz, with Sparkle absorbing the least at 0.8-1.0 oz. However, the student noted the results may not be entirely accurate due to inconsistencies in timing

QUESTION:
What paper towel is most absorbent?
HYPOTHESIS:
If we put bounty, brawny and sparkle into a glass of
water. Then bounty will be the most Observant. Because
bounty has two ply of sheets pockets that hold in the
liquid.
MATERIALS/APPARATUS:
1. Measuring cup
2. Water
3. Bounty paper towel
4. sparkle paper towel
5. Brawny paper towel PAPER TOWEL EXPERIMENT
6. Timer
PROCEDURE: DATE TEST 1 TEST 2 TEST 3
1. put 8 oz of water into the three measuring cup. BOUNTY 1.0 1.3 1.3
2. Take a sheet of one paper towel into the measuring BRAWNY 1.0 1.0 1.0
cup for 5 seconds with a timer if the paper towels
drips, hold it over the measuring cup until it stops SPARKLE 0.8 1.0 1.0
dripping then record how much is left by paper and
pencil for every paper towel.
3. Take the paper towel and out measure how much
water is left in the measuring cup.
4. Refill thee measuring cup to 8 oz again. PAPER TOWEL ABSORBENCY/STRENGTH
1.3 1.3
5. Dip the paper towel the same time every time use 1.3
use steps on through four, next two paper towels.
CONCLUSION: 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0
1.We thought if we put bounty, brawny and sparkle into 1.0
0.8
a glass of water. Then bounty will be the most
observant,because bounty has two ply of sheets and it 0.7
has pockets that hold in the liquid.
2.We put 8 oz of water into the three measuring cup
we took a sheet of paper of each paper towel the we 0.3
dip it to the measuring cup for 5 seconds and we timed
the time with a timer we also recored the how many 0
ounces each paper towel absorbed the most amount of Test 1 Test 2 Test 3
water. We refilled the cup to 8 oz again to we can do it
two more times. Category Title
3. We thought the bounty was gonna absorbed the Bounty Brawny Sparkle
most water and bounty absorbed the most water.
The level of ounces for bounty brawny and sparkle
absorbed each time different level because we maybe
didn’t time it at the same time as the other time.
Bounty absorbed in the first time 1.0 oz the second
time 1.3 and the third it absorbed 1.3 again. Brawny
absorbed the first time 1.0 oz the 1.0 again and the
third time 1.0. Sparkle absorbed the first time 0.8 oz
then 1.0 and the third time 1.0 oz.
4. Disprove because each experiment is not the same
data because we didn’t start in the same time cause
different people did the experiment.
