Today we did an experiment on which paper towel absorbed the most water. They did awesome!! I know it's only the 8th day of school, but I have a feeling this is going to be an amazing year in science. Each group got 3 sheets of each different paper towels (we used 3 different brands). They were then to pour 100 ml of water into a cup, dip the paper towel in and remove, and then measure and record how much water was left in the cup.
We are really working on the steps of the scientific method. We also reviewed the independent variable (the 1 thing we changed..brand of paper towel) and the dependent variable (the data we collected..how much water was left in the cup). Tomorrow we tackle what a control group is!!
