...Western Governors University INT1 Task 3 Paper Towel Absorbency A. Project Plan I am conducting an experiment to determine which, paper towel brands: Bounty, Viva, Great Value, or Sparkle is the most absorbent for everyday spills. I will be testing how much water each paper towel absorbs from 60 milliliters of water. · Problem Statement I will measure the amount of water, in milliliters, that each paper towel absorbs from a beaker. The independent variable is the different types of similar sized paper towels. The dependent variable will be the millimeters of water in the beakers. Which paper towel brand soaks up, meaning leaves behind the least amount of water, the highest amount of the 60 milliliters of water? I will test the absorbance of each brand of paper towel by placing each paper towel into the same amount of water for 15 seconds and then remove each paper towel allowing it to drip for 15 seconds. After measuring the water left behind in the pan I will compare the average of 3 trials for each brand to determine which paper towel brand absorbs the most water. · Relevance of my testable question This experiment is important to the real world because that every household has spills to clean up and there are many options at different price ranges to choose from. Knowing which paper towel brand absorbs the most liquid will help every day families make the decision of the best paper towel to buy for their home. · Literature Review: I found 2 projects...

...INT 1 TASK 3 * Which Paper Towel Will Absorb The Most Water? By Rachel Martin Project Design Plan The paper towel experiment is a project that determines which paper towel brand will absorb the most amount of water in a given time period. Literature Review There are many different brands of paper towels in the supermarkets. They are claim to be the best or have the best absorbency over their rivals. There have been many experiments involving the absorbency of paper towels. Samantha P. tested four different brands of paper towels, which were Bounty, Scott, Sparkle and Western Family. Her prediction was that Bounty paper towels would be the most absorbent based on research on the internet. The constant in the experiment was the size of each paper towel and the amount of water. The manipulated variable was the different brands of paper towels and responding variable was the amount of water left over after experiment. The results indicated that Sparkle brand paper towels were actually the most absorbent, which rejected her hypothesis that Bounty was the most absorbent. (Samantha P., 2000) Kalix Martin tested four brands of paper towels for absorbency: Bounty, Target store brand, Viva, and Brawny. Martin’s hypothesis was that Bounty would be the most absorbent of the four paper towels. The constant in this experiment was the size of the bowls, the same amount of water, the same...
