In these experiments, I choose to use 80 mL beakers. This size tube was smaller than the other experiments trial I reviewed. Selecting a beaker with the numbers visible on the outside of the tube allowed for accurate measurement of the liquid. Before the towel merged into the cylinder, they were prepped by folding and rolling each towel the same way to assure a correct fit in the beaker. So, once the towel touched the bottom of the cylinder the stopwatch began to count down 20 seconds. This guaranteed that each brand received the same amount of time when merged into the liquid. Remove the paper towel from the cylinder and reactivated the stopwatch to count down the 5-second drip off from of liquid from the towel. Discard the towel in a disposable
